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 |
