Description
Arrangement of Byrd's Cradle Song - song to the infant Jesus.
The sound sample is an electronic preview.
The words of the vocal original (also available on this site) are:
My little sweet darling, my comfort and joy,
Sing Lullaby lully,
In beauty surpassing the princes of Troy,
Sing Lullaby lully,
Now suck child, and sleep child,
Thy mother's sweet boy,
Sing Lullaby lully,
The gods bless and keep thee
From cruel annoy,
Sweet baby, Lullaby lully.
