The snow in the street and the wind on the door
And Mary and Joseph from over the sea!
Minstrels and maids, stand forth on the floor
For as we wandered far and wide,
The snow in the street and the wind on the door
What hap do you deem there should us betide!
Minstrels and maids, stand forth on the floor
Under a bent when the night was deep,
The snow in the street and the wind on the door
There lay three shepherds tending their sheep.
