Intro
Good King Wenceslas looked out on the Feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay 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, gathering winter fuel.
Wenceslas
Hither, page, and stand by me, if thou know'st it, telling, yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling?
Page
Sire, he lives a good league hence, underneath the mountain; right against the forest fence, by Saint Agnes' fountain.
Wenceslas
Bring me flesh and bring me wine, bring me pine logs hither.
We shall have dinner with him there.
Page and monarch, forth they went, forth they went together;
Through the rude wind's wild lament and the bitter weather.
