[00:00.000] Good King Wenceslas looked out
[00:03.872] On the Feast of Stephen
[00:07.182] When the snow lay 'round about
[00:10.572] Deep and crisp and even
[00:14.022] Brightly shone the moon that night
[00:17.602] Though the frost was cruel
[00:21.132] When a poor man came in sight
[00:24.832] Gathering winter fuel
[00:31.559] "Hither, Page, and stand by me, “
[00:35.114] If thou know'st it, telling
[00:38.524] Yonder peasant, who is he?
[00:42.163] Where and what his dwelling?
[00:45.758] "Sire, he lives a good league hence,
[00:49.422] Underneath the mountain
[00:52.961] Right against the forest fence
[00:56.450] By Saint Agnes' fountain.
[01:02.822] ……
[01:34.280] "Sire, the night is darker now “
[01:38.094] And the wind blows stronger
[01:41.785] Fails my heart, I know not how
[01:45.543] I can go no longer.
[01:49.365] "Mark my footsteps, my good Page “
[01:52.877] Tread thou in them boldly
[01:56.457] Thou shall find the winter's rage
[02:00.446] Freeze thy blood less coldly.
[02:07.567] In his master's step he trod
[02:10.815] Where the snow lay dinted
[02:14.429] Heat was in the very sod
[02:17.905] Which the Saint had printed
[02:21.656] Therefore, Christian men, be sure
[02:25.289] Wealth or rank possessing
[02:29.244] Ye, who now will bless the poor
[02:33.239] Shall yourselves find blessing.
