- 1.
Once, as I remember,
At the time of Yule,
After midDecember,
When it bloweth cool,
I o'erheard a Mother
Was asinging "Sweet Jesu,
Lalullaylu,
Lullay lalu."
- 2.
Near as man was able,
On my knee fell I,
In the Bethlem stable
Where the babe did lie,
And the Virginmother
Was asinging "Sweet Jesu,
Lalullaylu,
Lullay lalu."
- 3.
Ox and ass around him,
Courtierlike, did stand:
Fair white linen bound him,
Spun by Mary's hand,
While the Virginmother
Was asinging "Sweet Jesu,
Lalullaylu,
Lullay lalu."
- 4.
Ever among and o'er us
Angelquire 'gan sing
Antiphons in chorus
To the newborn King.
Then the Virginmother
Fell asinging "Sweet Jesu,
Lalullaylu,
Lullay lalu."
