- In the bleak mid-winter,
- .i Christina G. Rossetti
-
- .1
- In the bleak mid-winter,
- Frosty wind made moan;
- Earth stood hard as iron,
- Water like a stone.
- Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
- Snow on snow;
- In the bleak mid-winter,
- Long ago.
-
- .2
- Our God, heaven cannot hold Him,
- Nor earth sustain,
- Heaven and earth shall flee away
- When He comes to reign.
- In the bleak midwinter
- A stable-place sufficed
- The Lord God Almighty,
- Jesus Christ.
-
- .3
- Angels and archangels
- May have gathered there,
- Cherubim and seraphim
- Thronged the air.
- But His mother only,
- In her maiden bliss,
- Worshipped the Belovčd
- With a kiss.
-
- .4
- What can I give Him,
- Poor as I am?
- If I were a shepherd,
- I would bring a lamb.
- If I were a wise man,
- I would do my part;
- Yet what I can I give Him-
- Give my heart.
