lyrics

I sing of a maiden that is matchless:
King of all kings for her son she chose.

He came so still where his mother was
As dew in April that falls on the grass.
He came so still to his mother's bower
As dew in April that falls on the flower.
He came so still where his mother lay
As dew in April that falls on the spray.

Mother and maiden was never none but she:
Well may such a lady God's mother be!
