The lyrics to “What Child Is This?” were written in 1865 by William Chatterton Dix, and those lyrics are set to the even older tune of “Greensleeves.” That English folk tune dates back to 1580, when it first appeared in a London Stationer’s Company registry as “A Newe Northen Dittye of ye Ladye Greene Sleves.” So lyrically and musically this Christmas hymn is in the public domain.
