A Christmas Carol
In the bleak mid-winter Frosty winds made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak mid-winter, Long ago.
Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him Nor earth sustain; Heaven and earth shall flee away When he comes to reign: In the bleak mid-winter A stable place sufficed The Lord God Almighty Jesus Christ.
A Christmas Fable
What crew the cockerel On Christmas morn? It crew Christus natus est! Loudly Christus natus est! Gladly Christus natus est! Christ, the Christ is born!
Quando, quando? quacked the duck. When, O when? cried she. In hac nocte, croacked the raven, Humped upon a tree, In hac nocte, in hac nocte, This very night, quoth he.
Ubi, ubi? lowed the cow, Where? she asked of them. Ubi, ubi? None could tell, Till a little lamb Baa'ed out bravely, high and clear, Bleated, Bethlehem.
Joyfully the donkey's voice Answered lambkin so: Eamus! said the ass's bray, As all Christian men now say Eamus! Let us go.
