Good King Wenceslas |
Good King Wenceslas looked out, On the Feast of Stephen, |
When the snow lay round about, |
Deep and crisp and even; |
Brightly shone the moon that night, |
Though the frost was cruel |
When a poor man came in sight, |
Gathering winter fuel. |
«Hither, page, and stand by me, |
If though know’st it, telling, |
Yonder peasent, who is he?» |
Where and what his dwelling? |
«Sire, he lives a good league hence, |
Underneath the mountain; |
Right against the forest fence, |
By Saint Agnes' fountain.» |
«Bring me flesh, and bring me wine, |
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; |
Thro' the rude wind’s wild lament |
And the bitter weather. |
