Oh, the rising of the sun,
The running of the deer.
The playing of the merry organ,
Sweet singing in the quire.

And the answer is: The Holly and the Ivy

Ah. I so immediately processed "quire" as the 16th cen. spelling of "choir" that I didn't even think about any other meanings.

Now I'm going to have this song in my head all day! Thanks for the ear worm.
