on the feast of Stephen,

C
When the snow lay round about,

deep and crisp and even,

though the frost was cruel,
C
When the poor man came inside,
C
Hear the page and stand by me,
C
Yonder peasant, who is he,
G
where and what his dwelling?
C
Sir, he lives on North Lake Hens,
underneath the mountain,
G

Right against the forest fence
by St. Agnes' fountain.

be sure, wealth or rank possessing,

Ye who now will bless the poor,

Show yourselves, my mer cy!
