The holly bears a berry,
as red as any blood,
and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
to do poor sinners good:

The holly bears a prickle,
as sharp as any thorn,
and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
on Christmas day in the morn:
O the rising of the sun......

The holly bears a bark,
as bitter as any gall,
and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
for to redeem us all:
O the rising of the sun.........(to end)
