the tree will bow before her and the carol goes on to say: “Then bespake Joseph I have done Mary wrong” etc Another carol of this time is full of beautiful imagery “‘As Joseph was He heard an angel sing— The night shall be born Our heavenly king He neither shall be born In house nor in hall Nor In the place of Paradise But in an ox’s stall" etc This Is in the same spirit as our familiar “While shepherds watched their flocks ' by night All seated on the ground The angel of the Lord came down And glory shone around I Fear not” said he (for mighty dread Had seized their troubled min) Glad tidings of great joy bring To you and all mankind" And who would forget the swing ot melody and the charity taught In “Good King Weneslaus 'looked forth On the least of Stephen” He saw the beggar
