benjamin britten - corpus christi carol lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
he bear him off, he bear him down
he bear him into an orchard ground

[chorus]
lu li lu lay. lu li lu lay
the falcon hath bourne my mate away

[verse 1]
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

[chorus]
lu li lu lay. lu li lu lay
the falcon hath bourne my mate away

[verse 2]
in this bed there lyeth a knight
his wound is bleeding day and night
by that bedside kneeleth a maid
and she weepeth both night and day
[chorus]
lu li lu lay, lu li lu lay
the falcon hath bourne my mate away

[outro]
and by that bedside there standeth a stone
corpus christi written thereon
