• Carol: Lullay: I saw a swete semly syght

‘Lulay, lullow, lully, lullay,
Bewy, bewy, lully, bewy,
Lully, lullow, lully, lullay,
Baw, baw, my barne,
Slepe softly now.’
I saw a swete semly syght,
A blisful birde, a blossum bright
That murnyng made and mirth of mange;
A maydin moder, mek and myld,
In credil kep a knaue child
That softly sleep; sche sat and sange.

Translation

‘Lullay, lullow, lully, lullay,
Bewy, bewy, lully, bewy,
Lully, lullow, lully, lullay,
Baw, baw, my child,
Sleep softly now.’
I saw a sweet, beautiful sight,
a blissful maiden, a blossom bright,
who mourned and rejoiced together.
A maiden mother, meek and mild,
in a cradle kept her boy child,
who softly slept; she sat and sang.
