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 thou know’st it, telling |
| Yonder peasant, 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» |
| «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 master’s steps 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 |
