Hibernational Anthem
Mother Earth is sleeping
Under blankets of snow
The secret that she's keeping
In Spring will surely show
The days are growing shorter
The sun's on holiday
But you should see the light
On Christmas night
For the sight of Christmas day
Oh, Sleep walks near the windows
And Dream naps near the fence
The Dream asks Sleep
Where should we rest tonight
But Sleep could not make sense
Awake were they only
Those shepherds of silence profound
When colour had faded
The night-time had shaded
Their senses from sight and from sound
Sleep child, and peace attend thee
The sweet sound of bells God will lend thee
The Son of God possessed the keys
To open the portal of treasures
The Holly and the Ivy
Both are now well grown
The Holly bears a berry red
While the Ivy grows alone
Under blankets of snow
The secret that she's keeping
In Spring will surely show
The days are growing shorter
The sun's on holiday
But you should see the light
On Christmas night
For the sight of Christmas day
Oh, Sleep walks near the windows
And Dream naps near the fence
The Dream asks Sleep
Where should we rest tonight
But Sleep could not make sense
Awake were they only
Those shepherds of silence profound
When colour had faded
The night-time had shaded
Their senses from sight and from sound
Sleep child, and peace attend thee
The sweet sound of bells God will lend thee
The Son of God possessed the keys
To open the portal of treasures
The Holly and the Ivy
Both are now well grown
The Holly bears a berry red
While the Ivy grows alone
