The Magi Carol
Sheep of the fold, fowls of the storm,
In chill the child, chaste in his manger--
The kings are coming to crown a King
And here we are, waiting to welcome
them together:
We wish you joy again--
Gale, oak & heather,
Mistletoe & pine--
In any winter weather.
Bearing gold, gifts of myrrh,
Of frankincense--seed of thyme,
Vervain and thorn, horn at the gate--
The Magi move among the snows
together:
We wish you joy again--
Gale, oak & heather,
Mistletoe & pine--
In any winter weather.
Reap the heart of the hoar oak
With a scythe of ore, open the gate
Of the golden bough, bend to dream
Before the stable, the stall of fortune
all together:
We wish you joy again--
Gale, oak & heather,
Mistletoe & pine--
In any winter weather.
