Good King Wenceslas

Good King Wenceslas looked aut

On the Fest of Stephen,

When the snow lay ‘round about,

Deep and crisp and even:

Brightly shone the moon thal nighi,

Tho’ the frost was cruel,

When a poor man came in sight,

Gath’ring winter fuel!

“Hither, page, and $ “siand by me,

if You know’St it, felting,
Yonder peasant, who Is he?

Where and what His Dwelling?“
"Sire, he lives a good league hence,

Underneath ihe mountain;

Right against the fares! fence,

By St. Agnes’ fountain.”

“Bring me flesh and bring me wine,

Bring me pine logs hither.
Thou and | will see him dine,
When we bear Him thither.”

Page and monarch forth they went,

Forth they went together,

Through the rude.yind's wild lament,

And ihe bitter weather.

“Sire, the nighi is, darker now
And ihe wind blows, sironger;

Falls my heart. | know not how,

I can go no longer.”

page;

Thou shalt find the winter's range «

Freeze thy blood less coldly.”

In his master’s steps he frod,
Where the snow Say dinted
Heat was in the very sod
Which the salnt had prinied.

Therefore, Christian men, be sure,

Wealth or rank possessing,

Ye who now will bless the poor

Shall yourselves find blessing.

Dear Santa

hiking boots and some skis
and a trumpet.

| heard bells on Christmas Day

| heard ihe bells on Christmas day
Thelr old famillar carols play,

And wild and sweel the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
I thought how, as the day had come,
‘The belfries of all Christendom

Had roll'd along th‘un-broken song:
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

And in despalr | bow’d my head:
“There Is no peace on earth,” | said,

“For hate Is strong and mocks the song,

Of peace on earth, good will to men.”

Then pealed the bells mare loud and deep:

“God Is not dead, nor doth he sleep:
The wrong shall fall, the righi prevail,

With Peace on earth, good will to men.”

Till ringing, singing on its way,
“The world revolved from night to day,

A volce, a chime, a chant sublime,

_ Of peace on earth, good will to men.
