Brightly shone the moon that night, tho' the frost was cruel, when a poor man came in sight gathering winter fuel. "Hither page and stand by me, if thou knowest it, telling. Yonder peasant who is he?

I don't know what to say.
Me either.
But "Good King Wenceslas" was one of the first Christmas songs I learned on the piano SO many years ago- 31 to be exact..
Yeah Ladies there's not much to say. To be honest I kind of just posted it for the pic. I've had it in my files for, like, forever...
No comment necessary ;^)
Hence I will retire in the Squire where my cottage lay.
Hahaha
Actually, thank you! I've heard the song a lot, but I never quite knew what the lyrics said. I've been curious about it for a long time.
Now I know!
You're welcome.
Any time ;^)
