  1. In the bleak mid-winter,
  2. .i Christina G. Rossetti
  3. .1
  4. In the bleak mid-winter,
  5. Frosty wind made moan;
  6. Earth stood hard as iron,
  7. Water like a stone.
  8. Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
  9. Snow on snow;
  10. In the bleak mid-winter,
  11. Long ago.
  12. .2
  13. Our God, heaven cannot hold Him,
  14. Nor earth sustain,
  15. Heaven and earth shall flee away
  16. When He comes to reign.
  17. In the bleak midwinter
  18. A stable-place sufficed
  19. The Lord God Almighty,
  20. Jesus Christ.
  21. .3
  22. Angels and archangels
  23. May have gathered there,
  24. Cherubim and seraphim
  25. Thronged the air.
  26. But His mother only,
  27. In her maiden bliss,
  28. Worshipped the Belovčd
  29. With a kiss.
  30. .4
  31. What can I give Him,
  32. Poor as I am?
  33. If I were a shepherd,
  34. I would bring a lamb.
  35. If I were a wise man,
  36. I would do my part;
  37. Yet what I can I give Him-
  38. Give my heart.
  39. .
  40. ~
