Good king Wenceslas looked out[00:00:13]
On the feast of Stephen[00:00:16]
When the snow lay round about[00:00:19]
Deep and crisp and even[00:00:22]
Brightly shown the moon that night[00:00:25]
Though the frost was cruel[00:00:29]
When a poor man came in sight[00:00:32]
Gathering winter fuel[00:00:35]
Hither page and stand by me[00:00:47]
If thou know it telling[00:00:50]
Yonder peasant who is he[00:00:53]
Where and what his dwelling[00:00:56]
Sire he lives a good league hence[00:00:59]
Underneath the mountain[00:01:02]
Right against the forest fence[00:01:06]
By saint Agnes fountain[00:01:09]
Bring me flesh and bring me wine[00:01:14]
Bring me pine logs hither[00:01:17]
Thou and I will see him dine[00:01:20]
When we bear the thither[00:01:24]
Page and monarch forth they went[00:01:27]
Forth they went together[00:01:30]
Through the rude wind's wild lament[00:01:33]
And the bitter weather[00:01:37]
Sire the night is darker now[00:01:42]
And the wind blows stronger[00:01:45]
Fails my heart I know not how[00:01:48]
I can go no longer[00:01:52]
Ark my footsteps my good page[00:01:55]
Tread thou in them boldly[00:01:58]
Thou shalt find the winter's rage[00:02:02]
Freeze thy blood less coldly[00:02:05]
In his master's step he trod[00:02:16]
Where the snow lay dented[00:02:19]
Heat was in the very sod[00:02:22]
Which the saint had printed[00:02:25]
Therefore christian men be sure[00:02:29]
Wealth or rank possessing[00:02:32]
Ye who now will bless the poor[00:02:35]
Shall yourselves find blessing[00:02:39]
