Shall we find the stable room lIt by a star? Can we see the lIttle child, is He wIthin? If we lift the wooden latch, may we go in? May we stroke the creatures there, ox, ass or sheep?

Great Kings have precious gifts and we have nought LIttle smiles and lIttle tears are all we have brought. For all weary children Mary must weep Here, on His bed of straw, sleep, children, sleep.
