Corpus Christi Carol Lyrics – Benjamin Britten

He bear him off, he bear him down
He bear him into an orchard ground
Lu li lu lay. lu li lu lay
The falcon hath bourne my mate away

And in that orchard there was a hold
That was hanged with purple and gold
And in that hold there was a bed
It was hanged with gold so red

Lu li lu lay. lu li lu lay
The falcon hath bourne my mate away
In this bed there lyeth a knight
His wound is bleeding day and night

By that 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

And by that bedside there standeth a stone
Corpus christi written thereon
