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,
