"Whence art thou, my maiden—
Whence art thou?"
"I come from the stable
Where, this very night,
I, a shepherd maiden,
Saw a wondrous sight."
"What sawest thou, my maiden—
What sawest thou?"
"There within the manger,
A little babe I saw,
Lying softly sleeping
On the golden straw."
Nothing more, my maiden—
Nothing more?"
"I saw the Holy Mother
The little baby hold,
And the father, Joseph,
A-tremble with the cold."
"Nothing more, my maiden—
Nothing more?"
"I saw the ass and oxen
Kneeling meek and mild,
With their gentle breathing
Warm the Holy Child."
"Nothing more, my maiden—
Nothing more?"
"There were three bright angels
Come down from the sky,
Singing forth sweet praises
To the Father high."
