Christina Rossetti
In the Bleak Midwinter
[Verse 1]
In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone
Snow had fallen, snow on snow
Snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long ago
[Verse 2]
Angels and archangels
May have gathered there
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air
But only His mother
In her maiden bliss
Worshiped the Beloved
With a kiss
[Verse 3]
What can I give Him
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb
If I were a wise man
I would do my part
Yet, what can I give Him?
Give my heart
[Outro]
Snow had fallen, snow on snow
Snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long, long ago
