I SING of a maiden | |
That is makeles; | |
King of all kings | |
To her son she ches. | |
|
He came al so still | 5 |
There his mother was, | |
As dew in April | |
That falleth on the grass. | |
|
He came al so still | |
To his mother’s bour, | 10 |
As dew in April | |
That falleth on the flour. | |
|
He came al so still | |
There his mother lay, | |
As dew in April | 15 |
That falleth on the spray. | |
|
Mother and maiden | |
Was never none but she; | |
Well may such a lady | |
Goddes mother be. | 20 |
