Like all nativity poems, the poet often imagines a dialogue between Mary and the infant Jesus. Such dialogues often foreshadow the events to follow: the events of the Crucifixion. It appears that lullabies unrelated to Christmas and to the Slaughter of the Holy Innocents are a comparatively recent development. Coventry Carol by Jason Hunsaker
Versión en español. En esta canción, las madres intentan mantener quietos a sus bebés para evitar que los descubran los soldados enviados a matarlos. Por lo tanto: “duerme, niñito, ya”. Como todos los poemas navideños, el poeta suele imaginar un diálogo entre María y el niño Jesús. Tales diálogos presagian a menudo los acontecimientos que siguen: los acontecimientos de la Crucifixión. Parece que las canciones de cuna no relacionadas con La Navidad y la Matanza de los Santos Inocentes son un desarrollo relativamente reciente. Villancico De Coventry by Jason Hunsaker
