¶Lyrics / Text

I syng of a mayden that is makeles, Kyng of alle kynges to here sone che ches. He came also stylle ther his moder was As dew in aprylle, that fallyt on the gras. He cam also stylle to his moderes bowr As dew in aprille, that fallyt on the flour. He cam also stylle ther his moder lay As dew in Aprille, that fallyt on the spray. Moder & mayden was neuer non but che - Wel may swych a lady Godes moder be. (I sing of a maiden that is matchless; king of all kings as her son she chose. He came as still where his mother was as dew in April that fall'th on the grass. He came as still to his mother's bower as dew in April that fall'th on the flower. He came as still where his mother lay as dew in April that fall'th on the spray. Mother and maiden was never none but she - well may such a lady God's mother be.)
