This song is not really for christmas but for the massacre of all young children by Herod, which we commemorate on january, 2nd. This is the last lullaby the mothers who lost their children on this nightmarish day will ever sing to them. It is a very beautiful song filled with sadness and love : a last goodbye.

The song was from an olde English play that went though the Christmas story from Matthew Ch 2, and this song was the lament of you will for the children Herod killed in his attempt to secure his position from the Messiah that they assumed would come and dethrone Rome. Beautiful song and the arrangement is incredible.

I remember singing this song in chorus back in the 1960s. They left out the verses about killing babies, though. So I was always puzzled about why it was a sad song.
In the version we sang, only the first and last verses were included. I remember the last verse being:
βOh, woe is me,
poor child for thee,
And ever mourn and pray.
For thy parting, no say nor sing,
Bye bye lullee lullayβ
If memory serves, we sang it as a madrigal. I remember it having an intricate sound.
