SHEPHERD'S SONG by ANONYMOUS

First Line: AS I RODE OUT THIS ENDERES' NIGHT
Last Line: SO MERRILY THE SHEPHERDS THEIR PIPES CAN BLOW
Subject(s): SHEPHERDS & SHEPHERDESSES;
AS I rode out this enderes' night,
Of three jolly shepherds I saw a sight,
And all about their fold a star shone bright;
They sang, Terli, terlow;
So merrily the shepherds their pipes can blow.

Down from heaven, from heaven so high,
Of angels there came a great company,
With mirth, and joy, and great solemnity
They sang, Terli, terlow;
So merrily the shepherds their pipes can blow.
