Spin, daughter Mary, spin,
Twirl your wheel with silver din;
Spin, daughter Mary, spin,
Spin a tress for Viola.
Angels
Spin, Queen Mary, a
Brown tress for Viola!

The Father of Heaven
Weave, hands angelical,
Weave a woof of flesh to pall—
Weave, hands angelical—
Flesh to pall our Viola.
Angels
Weave, singing brothers, a
Velvet flesh for Viola!
