[edit] Authorship
A book that I own seems to contradict the information in this article regarding the song's authorship. A version of this song (in English) appears in the "Folksinger's Wordbook," compiled and edited by Irwin and Fred Silber and published by Oak Publications in 1973. In this book, the song is attributed to someone called Sir Harold Boulton, although the book does not state whether he is supposed to have written the lyrics, the music or both.

- Hm, interesting. A quick google throws up this web page and this discussion, which seem to suggest that the original Welsh lyrics are by Ceirog Hughes, but the English-language lullaby beginning, "Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee" are by Boulton, set to the same music but not a literal translation of Ceirog Hughes's lyrics.
