This endris night I saw a sight
|
A star as bright as day
|
And 'ere among a maiden sang
|
Lullay bye bye lullay
|
This lovely lady sat and sang
|
And to her child did say
|
"My son, my brother, father, dear
|
Why liest thou thus in hay"
|
The child then spoke in his talking
|
And to his mother said
|
"Yea, I am known as Heaven's King
|
Though I in crib be laid"
|
Methinks it right that king or knight
|
Should lie in good array
|
And then among, it were no wrong
|
To sing bye bye lullay
|
Mary, mother, I am that child
|
Tho' I be laid in stall
|
For lords and dukes shall worship me
|
And so shall kinges all
|
Now tell, sweet son, I thee do pray
|
Thou art my love and dear
|
How should I keep thee to thy pay
|
And make thee glad of cheer
|
My dear mother, thou hold me warm
|
And keep me night and day
|
And if I weep and may not sleep
|
Thou sing bye bye lullay
|
Thou sing bye bye lullay
|
