THERE WAS A KNIGHT OF BETHLEHEM
WHOSE WEALTH WAS TEARS AND SORROWS
HIS MEN AT ARMS WERE LITTLE LAMBS,
HIS TRUMPETERS WERE SPARROWS;
HIS CASTLE WAS A WOODEN CROSS,
WHEREON HE HUNG SO HIGH;
HIS HELMET WAS A CROWN OF THORNS
WHOSE CREST DID TOUCH THE SKY
HENRY NEVILLE MAUGHAN

I have a private recording of Paul Robeson singing this, if anyone is interested.
