Britten: A Ceremony of Carols, Op. 28: IV. That Yongë Child

That yongë child when it gan weep

With song she lulled him asleep

That was so sweet a melody

It passèd alle minstrelsy.

The nightingalë sang also:

Her song is hoarse and nought thereto:

Whoso attendeth to her song

And leaveth the first then doth he wrong.
