GOOD KING WENCESLAS
Good King Wenceslas looked out, on the feast of Stephen
When the snow lay round about, deep, and crisp, and even
Rightly shone the moon that night, though the frost was cruel
When a poor lad came in sight, gath’ring winter fuel
“Hither, Page, and stand by me, if thou know’st it, telling
Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what is dwelling?”
“Sire he lives a good league hence, underneath the mountain
Right against the forest fence, By St. Agnes fountain”
“Bring me food and bring me drink, bring me pine logs hither
Thou and I will see him dine, when we bear them thither”
Page and Monarch forth they went, forth they went together
Through the rude wind’s wild lament, and the bitter weather
“Sire the night is darker now, and the wind blows stronger
Fails my heart, I know not how, I can go no longer”
“Mark my footsteps my good page, tread thou in them boldly
Thou shalt find the winter’s rage, freeze thy blood less coldly”
In his masters steps he trod, where the snow lay dinted
Heat was in the very sod which the Saint had printed
Therefore Christians all be sure wealth of rank possessing
Ye who now will bless the poor shall yourselves find blessing
