STREW THEN, OH STREW A BED OF RUSHES (O.C.S. 65)

Words and music by Moore.

From the glee ‘Holy be the Pilgrim’s Sleep,’ which is a sequel to ‘Oh Lady Fair’ (q.v.).

Moore wrote two inane songs, entitled ’Holy be the Pilgrim’s Sleep’ and ‘Oh Lady Fair.’  For both pilgrim and lady arrangements are made for spending the night somewhere, and in each song occur the words

    Strew then, oh strew his [our] bed of rushes,
    Here he shall [we must] rest till morning blushes.
