>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

> Hither, page, and stand by me,
>If thou know'st it, telling
>Yonder peasant, who is he?
>Where and what his dwelling?
> Sire, he lives a good league hence,
>Underneath the mountain
>Right against 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
>When we bear them 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, good my 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.
