- It is impossible to date the individual lyrics with any certainty. Perhaps the oldest is the “Cuckoo Song”, which is probably of the 12th century. Some of the best of the lyrics (I Sing of a Maiden, Adam Lay Bound) may be of the 15th century.
- Middle English Lyrics are members of ancient genres, most of which had developed in France.
,
The poet of I Sing of a Maiden visualizes
the mystery of the Virgin Birth in terms of the most natural of mysteries, the falling Dew.
The very simplicity of the poet’s attitude achieves the most striking artistic results.
