There was a knight, and a lady bright
and three little babes had she.
She sent them away, to a far country,
to learn their grammerie.
They hadn`t been gone but a very short time,
about three months and a day,
when the lark spread o`er this whole wide world
and taken those babes away.
It was on a cold, cold Christmas night
when everything was still
ahe saw her three little babes come running,
come running down the hill.
She spread them a table of bread and wine,
that they might drink and eat;
she spread them a bed of winding sheet,
that they might sleep so sweet.
`Take it off, take it off,` cried the eldest one;
`take it off, take it off,` cried she,
`for I shan`t stay here, in this wicked world
when there`s a better one for me.`
