Coventry Carol - Elisabeth Schmann

Lullay thou little tiny child

By by lully lullay

Lullay thou little tiny child

By by lully lullay

O sisters too how may we do

For to preserve this day

This poor youngling for whom we sing

By by lully lullay

Herod the king in his raging

Charged the hath this day

His men of might in his own sight

All children young to slay

Then woe is me poor child for thee

And ever mourn and say

For thy parting nor say nor sing
