Corpus Christi Carol

He bear her off, he bear her down.
He bear her into an orchard ground.

Lu Li Lu Lay Lu Li Lu Lay,
The falcon hath bourne my mate away.

And in this orchard there was a hold,
That was hanged with purple and gold.
And in that hold there was a bed,
And it was hanged with gold so red.

Lu Li Lu Lay Lu Li Lu Lay,
The falcon hath bourne my mate away.

And on this bed there lyeth a knight.
His wound is bleeding day and night.
By his bedside kneeleth a maid,
And she weepeth both night and day.

Lu Li Lu Lay Lu Li Lu Lay,
The falcon hath bourne my mate away.

By his bedside standeth a stone
Corpus Christi written thereon.
