Maiden in the mor lay -
In the mor lay -
Seuenyst fulle, seuenyst fulle,
Maiden in the mor lay -
In the mor lay -
Seuenistes fulle ant a day.
Welle was hire mete.
Wat was hire mete?
Þe primerole ant the, þe primerole ant the,
Welle was hire mete.
Wat was hire mete?
Þe primerole ant the violet.
Welle was hire dryng.
Wat was hire dryng?
Þe chelde water of þe, þe chelde water of þe,
Welle was hire dryng.
Wat was hire dryng?
Þe chelde water of þe welle-spring.
Welle was hire bour.
Wat was hire bour?
Þe rede rose ant the, þe rede rose ant the,
Welle was hire bour.
Wat was hire bour?
Þe rede rose ant the lilie flour.
~ A Medieval song by an anonymous composer.
You can listen to a lovely version of this song here - our choir's currently working on this song too and I'm loving every moment of it!
