In the Bleak Midwinter

by
Christina Rosetti

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.

Our God, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain;
   heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign:
   in the bleak midwinter a stable-place sufficed
   the Lord God incarnate, Jesus Christ.

Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
   cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
   but his mother only, in her maiden bliss,
   worshiped 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.
