Corpus Christi Carol- B. Britten
He bear her off, he bear her down
he bearher 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 as hanged with gold and red
lu li lu lay lu li lu lay
on this bed lyeth a knight
his wound is bleeding both day and night
by his bedside kneeleth a maid
and she weepeth both night and day
lu li lu lay lu li lu lay
by his bedside standeth a stone
Corpus Christi written thereon
