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 this 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

Corpus christi written thereon
