Joshua Davidson, Nigel Short and Tenebrae - A Ceremony of Carols, Op. 28: IVa. 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
Here song is hoarse and nought thereto
Whoso attendeth to her song
And leaveth the first then doth he wrong
