| [00:32.68] |
Good King Wenceslas looked out |
| [00:35.55] |
On the Feast of Stephen |
| [00:38.34] |
When the snow lay 'round about |
| [00:41.25] |
Deep and crisp and even |
| [00:44.23] |
Brightly shone the moon that night |
| [00:47.17] |
Though the frost was cruel |
| [00:50.04] |
When a poor man came in sight |
| [00:53.09] |
Gath'ring winter fuel |
| [00:56.97] |
|
| [00:59.00] |
"Hither, page, and stand by me, |
| [01:01.88] |
If thou know'st it, telling |
| [01:04.73] |
Yonder peasant, who is he? |
| [01:07.59] |
Where and what his dwelling?" |
| [01:10.71] |
"Sire, he lives a good league hence, |
| [01:13.55] |
Underneath the mountain |
| [01:16.58] |
Right against the forest fence |
| [01:19.31] |
By Saint Agnes' fountain." |
| [01:24.06] |
|
| [01:51.73] |
"Sire, the night is darker now |
| [01:54.59] |
And the wind blows stronger |
| [01:57.62] |
Fails my heart, I know not how |
| [02:00.47] |
I can go no longer." |
| [02:03.53] |
"Mark my footsteps, my good page |
| [02:06.36] |
Tread thou in them boldly |
| [02:09.31] |
Thou shall find the winter's rage |
| [02:12.19] |
Freeze thy blood less coldly." |
| [02:16.63] |
|
| [02:18.25] |
In his master's step he trod |
| [02:20.98] |
Where the snow lay dinted |
| [02:23.96] |
Heat was in the very sod |
| [02:26.96] |
Which the Saint had printed |
| [02:29.82] |
Therefore, Christian men, be sure |
| [02:32.75] |
Wealth or rank possessing |
| [02:35.77] |
Ye, who now will bless the poor |
| [02:38.66] |
Shall yourselves find blessing. |
