lyrics

Als I lay on Yoolis Night, alone in my longynge
I thought I saw a faire sight, a maid hir child rockynge

The maiden wolde withouten song, hir childe aslepe to brynge
The Childe, he thought she did him wrong, and bade his moder synge

"Synge, now, Moder," sayed the Childe, “of what shalle me befalle?
Hereafter, when i cum to eld, for so don modres alle."

"Swete moder, faire and fre, because it is so
I pray thee that thou lullen me, for so don modres alle."

"Swete sonne," sayed she, "Whereof shoulde I synge?
Wist I never yet more of thee, but Gabriele's gretynge

He grete me godely on his knee, and sayed, "Oh, hail Mary!
Hail, full of grace, God is with thee, and beren thou shalt Messye."

Refrain: Lullaye, lullaye, lullaye, lullaye, my dere moder, synge lullaye.
