I SING of a maiden   That is makeles; King of all kings   To her son she ches.

He came al so still   There his mother was, As dew in April   That falleth on the grass.

He came al so still   To his mother's bour, As dew in April   That falleth on the flour.

He came al so still   There his mother lay, As dew in April   That falleth on the spray.

Mother and maiden   Was never none but she; Well may such a lady   Goddes mother be.

makeles] matchless. ches] chose.
