Il testo della In the bleak midwinter

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

Angels and archangels may have gathered there
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air
But his mother only, in her maiden's bliss
Worshiped the beloved with a kiss

Oh what can i give him, poor as i am
If i were a shepherd, would i bring a lamb
If i were a wise man, would i do my part
Yet what can i give him, give my heart

In the bleak mid-winter frosty winds made moan
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone

If i were a wise man, would i do my part
Yet what can i give him, give my heart
