Word from an Old Spanish Carol |
Shall I tell you who will come |
To Bethlehem on Christmas morn, |
Who will kneel gently down |
Before the Lord, newborn? |
One small fish from the river, |
With scales of red, red gold. |
One wild bee from the heather, |
One grey lamb from the fold, |
One ox from the high pasture, |
One black bull from the herd, |
One goatling from the far hills, |
One white, white bird. |
One large fish from the sea, One small fish from the river, |
Too shiny to behold, With scales of red, red gold. |
One tame moth from a tree, One wild bee from the heather, |
Sable stoled, One grey lamb from the fold, |
One colt from greet meadows, One ox from the high pasture, |
One bear cub fat and furred, One black bull from the herd, |
One goatling and One goatling from the far hills, |
One white, white bird. |
One white, white bird. |
And many children, |
God gave them grace, |
Bringing tall candles |
To light Mary’s face. |
Shall I tell you One small fish from the river, |
Who will come With scales of red and gold. |
To Bethlehem One wild bee from the heather, |
On Christmas morn, One grey lamb from the fold, |
Who will kneel them gently down One ox from the high pasture, |
Before the Lord, newborn? |
One black bull from the herd, |
One goatling from the forest, |
One white, white bird. |
White bird. |
White bird. |
(White bird.) |
White bird. |
White, white bird. |
(White bird.) |
(White, white bird.) |
White, white bird. |
