Burgundian Carol |
| The winter season of the year |
| When to this world our Lord was born |
| The ox and donkey, so they say |
| Did keep his holy presence warm |
| How many oxen and donkeys now |
| If they were there when first he came |
| How many oxen and donkeys you know |
| At such a time would do the same? |
| And on that night it has been told |
| These humble beasts so rough and rude |
| Throughout the noght of holy birth |
| Drank no water, ate no food |
| How many oxen and donkeys now |
| If they were there when first he came |
| How many oxen and donkeys you know |
| At such a time would do the same? |
| As soon as to these humble beasts |
| Appeared our Lord, so mild and sweet |
| With joy they knelt before his Grace |
| And gently kissed His tiny feet |
| How many oxen and donkeys now |
| Dressed in ermine, silk and such |
| How many oxen and donkeys you know |
| At such a time would do as much? |
