Corpus Christi Carol Lyrics
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 hanging with purple and pall
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
Corpu christi written thereon
He bear her into an orchard ground
The falcon hath bourne my mate away
That was hanging with purple and pall
And in that hold there was a bed
And it was hanged with gold so red
The falcon hath bourne my mate away
His wound is bleeding day and night
By his bedside kneeleth a maid
And she weepeth both night and day
The falcon hath bourne my mate away
Corpu christi written thereon
