Corpus Christi Carol(freely after anonymous 15th century text, melody by B. Britten)He bear her off, he bear her down He bear her into an orchard ground Lully lullay, lully lullay The falcon hath borne my mate away And in that orchard there was a hold That was hanged with purple and gold And in that hold there was a bed And it was hanged with gold so red Lully lullay, lully lullay The falcon hath borne my mate away And on this bed there lyeth a knight His wound is bleeding day and night By his bedside kneeleth a maid And she weepeth both night and day Lully lullay, lully lullay The falcon hath borne my mate away By his bedside standeth a stone Corpus Christi written thereon |
