Minstrels and maids, stand forth on the floor.
News of a fair and a marvellous thing,
The snow in the street, and the wind on the door,
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, we sing.
Minstrels and maids, stand forth on the floor.
Old English Carol
A Christmas Carol
"WHAT means this glory round our feet,"
The Magi mused, "more bright than morn?"
