Song mixed with scenes from my backyard during our Dec. 16,2007 snowstorm! In The Bleak Mid-Winter words by Christine Rossetti 1872 music by Gustav T Holst 1906 In the bleak midwinter 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 midwinter, Long ago. Angels and archangels May have gathered there, Cherubim and seraphim Thronged the air; But his mother only, In her maiden bliss, Worshipped the Beloved With a kiss. 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. vs. 1 repeated. (There are 2 other verses I didn't include)
