Stephen |
| Stephen was a stable groom |
| He watered five foals all and some |
| Ere the morning star was risen |
| Nor daylight to be seen |
| He saw a star was fair and bright |
| Over Bedl’em standing |
| Of a truth the Prophet now is born |
| That all the world shall ransom |
| He leads the foals from water |
| By that star so gleaming |
| And he is gone into the hall |
| Where Herod sat amusing |
| There is a child in Bedl’em born |
| And He is better than we all |
| Herod answered thus to Him |
| I’ll not believe your story |
| I’ll not believe your story, boy |
| Till the ragged bird that is on the board |
| Claps his wings and crows my Lord |
| In truth it is his birthday |
| Now Herod sat and he did wait |
| The bird came together on the plate |
| Feathered was he never so fair |
| As he flew up on the red gold chair |
| He clapped his wings and he crew so fair |
| My Lord this is his birthday |
| And Herod down from his kingly seat |
| In grief has fell a swooning |
| Stephen was a stable groom |
| He watered five foals all and some |
| Ere the morning star was risen |
| Nor daylight to be seen |
