As dew in Aprille
I syng of a mayden
Þat is makeles
Kyng of alle kynges
To here sone che ches
He came also stylle
Þer his moder was
As dew in aprylle
Þat fallyt on þe gras
He cam also stylle
To his moderes bowr
As dew in aprille
Þat fallyt on þe flour
He cam also stylle
Þer his moder lay
As dew in Aprille
Þat fallyt on þe spray.;
Moder & mayden
Was neuer non but che --
Wel may swych a lady
Godes moder be
