The variant with the title 'Christ made a trance' is printed in Folk Song Journal 14 (1910) p12 sung by Angelina Whatton (a Gypsy) at The Homme, Dilwyn, as noted by Vaughan Williams in September, 1908. Apart from a few initial stanzas the rest of the carol is the same as 'The Moon shines bright' and it was printed on 19th century broadsides.
