Corpus Christi Carol (Trad. British)
Language: English

 

 

 

He bare him off, he bare him down
He bare him into an orchard brown
Lully lulle, 
The falcon hath born my mak away

In that orchard there was an hall
That was hanged with purple and pall
In that hall there was a bed
That was hanged with gold so red
Lully lulle,
The falcon hath born my mak away

In that bed there lyeth a knight
His wound is bleeding day and night
By his bedside kneeleth a maid
She weepeth both night and day
Lully lulle,
The falcon hath born my mak away

By his bedside standeth the stone
Corpus Christi written thereon
