The Grail Carol

from Carols for Solstice by The Silver Twiglets

/

lyrics

He bare him up, he bare him down;
Lulley, lulley, lulley, lulley,
He bare him to an orchard brown;
The falcon hath borne my make away.

Down in yon forest there stands a hall;
It's covered all over with purple and pall;

In that hall there stands a bed;
It's covered all over with gold so red;

And in that bed there lieth a knight;
His wounds did bleed both day and night;

By that bedside there kneeleth a may;
And she weepeth both night and day;

Under that bed there runs a flood;
The one half runs water, the other runs blood;

Upon the bedpost the moon shines bright;
To bring in the honey- dew this very night;

And by the bedside there standeth a stone;
The ancient mysteries written thereon;
