A song for the innocents...

Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child,
By, by, lully, lullay.

O sisters too, how may we do,
For to preserve this day
This poor youngling for whom we do sing
By, by, lully, lullay?

Herod the king, in his raging,
Charged he hath this day
His men of might, in his own sight,
All young children to slay.

That woe is me, poor child, for thee!
And ever morn and day
For thy parting neither say nor sing,
By, by, lully, lullay.

Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child,
By, by, lully, lullay.
-15th Century carol

It is also the first anniversary of the death of George Summers, father of Fr. Bryan Summers, C.O. Prayers for the repose of his soul would be welcome.
