Now gooth sunne under wode:
Me reweth, Marye, thy faire rode.
Now gooth sunne under tree:
Me reweth, Marye, thy sone and thee.
-- anonymous, written in Middle English
Now goes the sun under wood;
I rue, Mary, thy fair face.
Now goes the sun under the tree;
I rue, Mary, thy son and thee.
--Modern translation (Leland Ryken)
