[00:12.49]Good king wenceslas looked out
[00:15.50]On the feast of stephen
[00:18.67]When the snow lay round about
[00:21.74]Deep and crisp and even
[00:24.86]Brightly shone the moon that night
[00:28.03]Though the frost was cruel
[00:31.37]When a poor man came in sight
[00:34.54]Gathering winter fuel
[00:45.83]Hither page and stand by me
[00:48.90]If though knows it telling
[00:52.12]Yonder peasant who is he
[00:55.19]Where and what his dwelling
[00:58.42]Sire he lives a good league hence
[01:01.80]Underneath the mountain
[01:04.93]Right against the forest fence
[01:08.17]By saint agnes's fountain
[01:13.41]Bring me flesh and bring me wine
[01:16.58]Bring me fine logs hither
[01:19.83]Though and I shall see him dine
[01:23.06]When we bear him thither
[01:26.39]Page and monarch forth they went
[01:29.51]Forth they went together
[01:32.68]Through the rude wind's wild lament
[01:35.89]And the bitter weather
[01:40.87]Sire the night is darker now
[01:44.32]And the wind blows stronger
[01:47.59]Fails my heart I know not how
[01:51.07]I can go no longer
[01:54.66]Mark my footsteps good my page
[01:57.72]Tread though in them boldly
[02:01.07]Though shall find the winter's rage
[02:04.50]Freeze thy blood less coldly
[02:15.35]In his master's steps he trod
[02:18.48]Where the snow lay dinted
[02:21.67]Heat was in the very sod
[02:24.84]Which the saint had printed
[02:28.18]Therefore christian men be sure
[02:31.30]Wealth or rank possessing
[02:34.55]Ye who now will bless the poor
[02:37.94]Shall yourselves find blessing
