This endris night

This endris night I saw a sight,
A star bright as day
And ever amoung, a maiden sung:
"Lullay, by by lullay".

This lovely lady sat and sung,
And to her child did say:
"My son, my brother, father dear,
Why liest thou thus in hay?"

The child then spake in his talking,
And to his mother said,
"Yea, I am known as Heaven's king
In crib though I be laid

"For angels bright down to me alight:
Thou knowest 'tis [true to say]
And for that sight thou may'st delight
And sing 'By by lullay'."

"Yet, sweet son, since thou art a king,
Why are thou laid in stall?
Why dost not order thy bedding
In some great kinges hall?

"Methinks 'tis right that king or knight
Should lie in good array
And them amoung it be not wrong
To sing 'By by lullay'."

"Mary Mother, I am child
Though I be laid in stall
For lords and dukes shall worship me
And so shall kinges all.

"So in they arm thou hold me warm,
And keep me night and day
And if I weep and may no sleep
Then sing 'By by lullay'."
