D'OU VIENS-TU, BERGERE?
"Whence art thou, my maiden,
Whence art thou?"
"I come from the stable
Where this very night,
I, a shepherd maiden,
Saw a wondrous sight."
"What saw'st thou, my maiden,
What saw'st thou?"
"There within the manger
A little babe I saw,
Lying softly sleeping
On the golden straw."
"Nothing more, my maiden,
Nothing more?"
"I saw the Holy Mother
The little baby hold,
And the father, Joseph,
A tremble with the cold."
