Uit welk land komt het kerstlied 'The Holly and the Ivy'?

Hier is de traditionele tekst van het kerstlied "The Holly and the Ivy": --- The Holly and the Ivy The holly and the ivy, When they are both full grown, Of all the trees that are in the wood, The holly bears the crown. Chorus: O, the rising of the sun, And the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir. The holly bears a blossom, As white as lily flower, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, To be our sweet Saviour. Chorus The holly bears a berry, As red as any blood, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, To do poor sinners good. Chorus The holly bears a prickle, As sharp as any thorn, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, On Christmas Day in the morn. Chorus The holly bears a bark, As bitter as any gall, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, For to redeem us all. Chorus --- Dit lied combineert christelijke symboliek met traditionele natuurbeelden, waarbij de hulst (holly) en de klimop (ivy) worden gebruikt om de geboorte van Jezus en de kerstperiode te vieren.
