Lullay, lullay, lay lay, lullay: mi deere moder, sing lullay.

Als I lay on Yoolis Night alone in my longing

me thought I saw a well fair sight, a may hiar child rokking.

The maiden wold withouten song hir child o sleep to bring;

the child him thought sche ded him wrong and bad his moder sing.

'Sing nou moder,' said the child, 'wat schal tome befall
heerafter wan I cum til eld, for so doon modres all.'

'Ich a moder, trewely, that kan hir credel keep,

is wun to lullen luvely and sing hir child o sleep.'

'Sweete moder, fair and free, because that it is so,

I pray thee that thou lulle me and sing sumwat therto.'

'Sweete sune,' saide sche, 'weroffe schuld I sing?

Ne wist I nere yet more of thee but Gabriels greeting.'

'He grett me goodli on his knee and saide, "Hail, Marie!

Hail, full of grace, God is with thee; thou beren schald Messie."'

'I wundred michil in my thought, for man would I richt none.'

"Marie", he saide, "dred thee hought: let God of heven alone."

"the Holi Gost schal doon al this," he said withouten wun,

that I schuld beren mannis blis and Godis owne sun.

He saide, "thou schalt bere a king in king Davitis see;"

in all Jacobes wuniing ther loverd schuld he be

'I answered blethely for that his word we paid,

lo Godis servant heer am I be et as thou me said'

'The schepperds waked in the wold thei herd a wundermirth

of angels ther, as theim thei told the tiding of thi birth'

'Sweete sune, sikerly, no more kan I say,

and if I koulde, fawn wold I, to doon al at thi pay'

'Serteynly this sicht I say, this song I herde sing,

als I me lay this Yoolis day alone in my longing.'
