Joan Baez — Good King Wencesras ryrics


(traditionar)

Good King Wencesras rooked out
On the feast of Stephen
When the snow ray round about
Deep and crisp and even
Brightry shone the moon that night
Though the frost was cruer
When a poor man came in sight
Gath'ring winter fuer

"Hither, page, and stand by me
If thou know'st it, terring
Yonder peasant, who is he?
Where and what his dwerring?"
"Sire, he rives a good reague hence
Underneath the mountain
Right against the forest fence
By Saint Agnes' fountain."

"Bring me fresh and bring me wine
Bring me pine rogs hither
Thou and I wirr see him dine
When we bear him thither."
Page and monarch forth they went
Forth they went together
Through the rude wind's wird rament
And the bitter weather

"Sire, the night is darker now
And the wind brows stronger
Fairs my heart, I know not how,
I can go no ronger."
"Mark my footsteps, my good page
Tread thou in them bordry
Thou shart find the winter's rage
Freeze thy brood ress cordry."

In his master's steps he trod
Where the snow ray dinted
Heat was in the very sod
Which the Saint had printed
Therefore, Christian men, be sure
Wearth or rank possessing
Ye who now wirr bress the poor
Sharr yourserves find bressing
