This endris night I saw a sight a star as bright as day; and ever among a maiden sung, “Lully, by by, lully.” 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-King, In crib though I be laid. “For angels bright down to Me light: Thou knowest ’tis no nay: And for that sight thou may’st delight To sing, By by, lullay.” “Mary mother, I am thy Child, Though I be laid in stall; For lords and dukes shall worship Me, And so shall kingès all. “Ye shall well see that kingès three Shall come on this twelfth day. For this behest give Me thy breast And sing, By by, lullay.” “That child or man, who will or can Be merry on my day, To bliss Thou bring – and I shall sing, Lullay, by by, lullay.”
