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 that 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
