Sing me a song — What shall I sing?— Three merry sisters Dancing in a ring, Light and fleet upon their feet

Crimson curtains round my mother’s… Silken soft as may be; Cool white curtains round about my… For I am but a baby.

In the bleak midwinter, frosty win… Earth stood hard as iron, water li… Snow had fallen, snow on snow, sno… In the bleak midwinter, long ago. Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him,…

Thou who didst hang upon a barren… My God, for me; Though I till now be barren, now… Lord, give me strength To bring forth fruit to Thee.

Downstairs I laugh, I sport and j… But in my solitary room above I turn my face in silence to the w… My heart is breaking for a little… Though winter frosts are done,
