Good King; Wenceslas looked out
On the feast of Stephen,
And the snow lav 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
Ciath'ring winter fuel.

First Singer:
"Hither, page, come stand by me,
If thou know'st it, telling.
Yonder peasant, who is he,
Where and what his dwelling."
Second Singer:
"Sire, he lives a good league hence,
Down beneath the mountain.
Close against the forest fence.
By St. Agnes' fountain."
First Singer:
"Bring me flesh and bring tue wine.
Bring, me pine logs hither:
Thou and I, we'll see him dine
When we bear them hither."
Second Singer:
"Sire, the alight is darker now,
And the, storm grows wilder,
Fails my heart. I know not how
I can go on longer."
First Singer:
"Mark mv steps, be brave, my page:
Tread thou in them boldlv;
Then thou'lt fmd the winter's rage
Freeze thy blood less coldly."
Page and monarch on they went
On thev went together.
Through the rude wind's wild lament.
Through the bitter weather.
In his master's steps he trod.
Where the snow lay dinted ;
That was in the very sod
Which his foot had printed.
Therefore, Christian men, be sure,
Wealth or rank possessing.
Ye who now do bless the poor
Shall yourselves find blessing.
