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 |
| Gath’ring winter fuel |
| «Bring me flesh and bring me wine |
| Bring me pine-logs hither |
| Thou and I will see him dine |
| When we bear him 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 shall find the winter’s rage |
| Freeze thy blood less coldly.» |
| In his master’s step he trod |
| Where the snow lay dinted |
| Heat was in the very sod |
| Which the Saint had printed |
| Therefore, Christian men, be sure |
| Wealth or rank possessing |
| Ye, who now will bless the poor |
| Shall yourselves find blessing |
