Anonymous Lyrics Of The Fifteenth Century
The Corpus Christi Carol
Lully, lullay, lully, lullay, 5
The falcon hath born my make away.mate
He bore him up, he bore him down,
He bore him into an orchard brown.
Lully, lullay, lully, lullay, ..
In that orchard there was a hall
That was hanged with purple and pall.black velvet
Lully, lullay, lully, lullay, ...
And in that hall there was a bed,
It was hanged with gold so red.
Lully, lullay, lully, lullay, ...
And in that bed there lieth a knight,
His woundes bleeding day and night.
Lully, lullay, lully, lullay, ...
By that bed's side there kneeleth a maymaiden
And she weepeth both night and day.
Lully, lullay, lully, lullay, ...
And by that, bed's side there standeth a stone,
Corpus Christi written thereon.
Lully, lullay, lully, lullay, ...
