Coventry Carol

Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child

By by, lully, lullay, thou little tiny child

By by, lully lullayO sisters too, how may we do

For to preserve this day

This poor youngling

For whom we do sing

By by, lully lullay?Herod, the king

In his raging

Chargd he hath this day

His men of mightIn his own sight,

All young children to slayThat woe is me

Poor child for thee!

And ever morn and day,

For thy parting

Neither say nor sing

By by, lully lullay!
