Good King Wenceslaus 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, Paige, and stand by me, if thou knowest telling

Yonder poor man who is he? Where and what's his dwelling?

Sire he lives a good league hence,

Underneath the mountain  right beside the forest fence

By Saint Agnes' Fountain.



Bring me flesh and bring me wine. Bring me pine logs hither.

Thou and I shall see him dine as we bare them thither.

Paige and Monarch forth they went, forth they went together

Through the rude wind's wild lament and the bitter weather.



Sire, the night grows darker and the wind blows much stronger

Marks my strength I know not how. I can go no longer.

Mark my footsteps, my good Paige tread thou in them boldly.

Thou shalt find the Winter's rage freeze they blood less coldly.

In his master's steps he trod, where the snow lay dented.

Heat was in the very sod which the Saint had printed.

Therefore Christian men be sure, wealth or rank possessing

You who now will bless the poor shall yourselves find blessing.
