Once, as I remember,
  At the time of Yule,
After mid December,
  When it bloweth cool,
I o'erheard a Mother
  Was a-singing, 'Sweet Jesu,
      La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu.'
Near as man was able,
  On my knee fell I,
in the Bethlem stable
  Where the Babe did lie,
And the Virgin-mother
  Was a-singing, 'Sweet Jesu,
      La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu.'
Herdmen from the prairie
  Came and piped for glee
For the Babe and Mary:
  King of Glory he.
Then the Virgin Mother
  Fell a-singing, 'Sweet Jesu,
      La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu.'
Ox and ass around him,
  Courtier-like, did stand:
Fair white linen bound him,
  Spun by Mary's hand.
While the Virgin-mother
  Was a-singing, 'Sweet Jesu,
      La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu.'


::''1.''
To this Lord, contented
Once, as I remember,<br>
  To endure the cold,
At the time of Yule,<br>
Easterlings presented
After midDecember,<br>
  Incense, myrrh and gold:
When it bloweth cool,<br>
Then the Virgin-mother
I o'erheard a Mother<br>
  Fell a-singing, 'Sweet Jesu,
Was asinging "Sweet Jesu,<br>
      La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu.'

Ever among and o'er us
Near as man was able,<br>
  Angel-quire gan sing
On my knee fell I,<br>
Antiphons in chorus
In the Bethlem stable<br>
  To the new-born King.
Where the babe did lie,<br>
Then the Virgin-mother
And the Virginmother<br>
  Fell a-singing, 'Sweet Jesu,
Was asinging "Sweet Jesu,<br>

Once, as I remember,
   At the time of Yule,
After mid December,
   When it bloweth cool,
I o'erheard a Mother
   Was a-singing, 'Sweet Jesu,
      La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu.'

Near as man was able,
   On my knee fell I,
in the Bethlem stable
   Where the Babe did lie,
And the Virgin-mother
   Was a-singing, 'Sweet Jesu,
      La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu.'

Herdmen from the prairie
   Came and piped for glee
For the Babe and Mary:
   King of Glory he.
Then the Virgin Mother
   Fell a-singing, 'Sweet Jesu,
      La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu.'

Ox and ass around him,
   Courtier-like, did stand:
Fair white linen bound him,
   Spun by Mary's hand.
While the Virgin-mother
   Was a-singing, 'Sweet Jesu,
      La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu.'

To this Lord, contented
   To endure the cold,
Easterlings presented
   Incense, myrrh and gold:
Then the Virgin-mother
   Fell a-singing, 'Sweet Jesu,
      La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu.'

Ever among and o'er us
   Angel-quire gan sing
Antiphons in chorus
   To the new-born King.
Then the Virgin-mother
   Fell a-singing, 'Sweet Jesu,
      La-lullay-lu, La-lullay-lu.'
