Testo di Down In Yon Forest

Down in yon forest there stands a hall The bells of paradise I heard them ring It’s covered all over with purple and pall And I love my lord Jesus above anything A knight there lies upon a bed The bells of paradise I heard them ring All scarlet’s the coverlet over him spread And I love my lord Jesus above anything At the end of that bed there grows a thorn The bells of paradise I heard them ring It blooms ere it blossoms the day he was born And I love my lord Jesus above anything Under that bed there runs a flood The bells of paradise I heard them ring A half it runs water, the other runs blood And I love my lord Jesus above anything And over that place the moon shines bright The bells of paradise I heard them ring To tell that our saviour was born this night And I love my lord Jesus above anything
