Ralph Vaughan WilliamsSong: It was the winter wild Lyrics
It was the Winter wild
While the Heaven born child
All meanly wrapt in the rude manger lies;
Nature in awe to him
Had doffed her gaudy trim
With her great Master so to sympathize:
And waving wide her myrtle wand
She strikes a universal Peace through Sea and Land
No war or battle's sound
Was heard the world around
The idle spear and shield were high up hung;
The hookèd Chariot stood
Unstained with hostile blood
The Trumpet spake not to the armèd throng
And Kings sate still with aweful eye
As if they surely knew their sovran Lord was by
But peaceful was the night
Wherein the Prince of light
His reign of peace upon the earth began:
The winds, with wonder whist
Smoothly the waters kissed
Whispering new joys to the mild Ocean
Who now hath quite forgot to rave
While birds of calm sit brooding on the charmèd wave
