Dark and dull night, fly hence away And give the honour to this day That sees December turn'd to May. Why does the chilling winter's morn Smile like a field beset with corn, Or smell like a meadow newly shorn Thus on the sudden? Come and see The cause why things thus fragrant be. 'Tis he is born, whose quick'ning birth Gives life and lustre, public mirth To heaven and the under-Earth. We see him come and know him ours, Who, with his sunshine and his showers, Turns all the patient ground to flowers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwsIo83RWEQ
