Explore "A Carol" by Rudyard Kipling on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Our Lord Who did the Ox command / To kneel to Judah's King, / He binds His frost upon the land / To ripen it for Spring -- / To ripen it for Spring, good sirs, / According to His Word; / Which well must be as ye can see -- / And who shall judge the Lord?
When we poor fenmen skate the ice / Or shiver on the wold, / We hear the cry of a single tree / That breaks her heart in the cold -- / That breaks her heart in the cold, good sirs, / And rendeth by the board; / Which well must be as ye can see -- / And who shall judge the Lord?
