A Christmas Carol Christina Rossetti

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.

Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him
        Nor earth sustain;
Heaven and earth shall flee away
        When He comes to reign:
In the bleak mid-winter
        A stable-place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty
        Jesus Christ.

Enough for Him whom cherubim
        Worship night and day,
A breastful of milk
        And a mangerful of hay;
Enough for Him whom angels
        Fall down before,
The ox and ass and camel
        Which adore.
