Corpus Christi Carol Benjamin Britten

Corpus Christi Carol" (Benjamin Britten) 
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
