Good King Wenceslas (song)

Good King Wenceslas is a well known Christmas carol
==Lyrics==
:Good King Wenceslas looked out on the feast of Stephen
:When the snow lay round-a-bout, deep and crisp and even
:Brightly shone the moon that night, though the frost was cruel
:When a poor man came in sight, gathering winter fuel
:"Hither page, and stand by me, if thou knowest 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 grows stronger"
:"Fails my heart I know not how, I can go no longer"
:"Mark my footsteps my good page, treat thou in them boldly"
:"Thou shalt find the winter's rage, freeze thy blood less coldly"
:In his master's steps 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 will now bless the poor, shall yourselves find blessing
