What “Sleep Now, Wee One” Means
The Giant’s Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of interlocking basalt columns, and the Mourne Mountains, said to have inspired C.S. Lewis’s Narnia, are two of Northern Ireland’s most iconic landscapes. This original lullaby, using ‘wee,’ a word heard everywhere in Northern Irish English, borrows both.
