Text

Of a Lady I sing, one matchless in make;
King above Kings
For son did she take.

All silent he drew
Where his mother was as in April the due settles on the grass.

All silent he drew
Full close to her bower
Where his mother was as in April the due settles on the flower.

All silent he drew
There where she lay
As in April the due settles on the spray.

There never was none
Maid and mother but she
Well may such a one
God’s true mother be.
