The Maidens Came

This poem dates from the 15th century. It is not known who wrote it, but it's thought to have been written by a young girl on the eve of marriage. To me it is a very poignant poem.
Please leave your thoughts or comments on it especially if you have any idea as to what the line 'the baily beareth the bell away' might mean.
