The snow in the street and the wind on the door
His hair was white and his hood was wide.
Minstrels and maids, stand forth on the floor
"And as we gazed this thing upon,
The snow in the street and the wind on the door
Those twain knelt down to the Little One,
Minstrels and maids, stand forth on the floor
"And a marvellous song we straight did hear,
The snow in the street and the wind on the door
That slew our sorrow and healed our care."
