Corpus Christi Carol

He bear him off, he bear him down

He bear him 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

It was hanged with gold so red

Lu li lu lay. lu li lu lay

The falcon hath bourne my mate away

In 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

And by his bedside standeth a stone
