Rhyme Scheme: AABAAB AABAAB AA AA AABAAB| Last night whiles that the curfew bell ben ringing | A |
| I heard a moder to her dearie singing | A |
| Lollyby lolly lollyby | B |
| And presently that chylde did cease hys weeping | A |
| And on his moder's breast did fall a sleeping | A |
| To lolly lolly lollyby | B |
| - | |
| Faire ben the chylde unto his moder clinging | A |
| But fairer yet the moder's gentle singing | A |
| Lollyby lolly lollyby | B |
| And angels came and kisst the dearie smiling | A |
| In dreems while him hys moder ben beguiling | A |
| With lolly lolly lollyby | B |
| - | |
| Then to my harte saies I Oh that thy beating | A |
| Colde be assuaged by some swete voice repeating | A |
| 'Lollyby lolly lollyby ' | - |
| That like this lyttel chylde I too ben sleeping | A |
| With plaisaunt phantasies about me creeping | A |
| To 'lolly lolly lollyby ' | - |
| - | |
| Sometime mayhap when curfew bells are ringing | A |
| A weary harte shall heare straunge voices singing | A |
| Lollyby lolly lollyby | B |
| Sometime mayhap with Chrysts love round me streaming | A |
| I shall be lulled into eternal dreeming | A |
| With lolly lolly lollyby | B |
