Coventry Carol
Lullay, thou little tiny child
Sleep well, lully, lullay
And smile in dreaming little one
Sleep well, lully, lullay
Oh, sisters too, what may we do
To preserve this day
This poor youngling for whom we sing
Sleep well, lully, lullay
So Herod the king, in his raging
Set forth upon this day
By his decree, no lives spare thee
All children young to slay
Then woe is me, poor child, for thee
And ever morn and sigh
For thy parting, neither say nor sing
Farewell, lully, lullay
And when the stars of darkened skies
In their vengeous day
End smiles, dreaming little one
Farewell, lully, lullay
Dream now, lully, lullay
Sleep well, lully, lullay
And smile in dreaming little one
Sleep well, lully, lullay
Oh, sisters too, what may we do
To preserve this day
This poor youngling for whom we sing
Sleep well, lully, lullay
So Herod the king, in his raging
Set forth upon this day
By his decree, no lives spare thee
All children young to slay
Then woe is me, poor child, for thee
And ever morn and sigh
For thy parting, neither say nor sing
Farewell, lully, lullay
And when the stars of darkened skies
In their vengeous day
End smiles, dreaming little one
Farewell, lully, lullay
Dream now, lully, lullay
