How far is it to Bethlehem?
Not very far.
Shall we find the stable room (хлев)
Lit by a star?
Shall we see the little Child?
Is He within?
If we lift the wooden latch (защелка)
May we go in?
May we stroke the creatures there (погладить)
Ox, ass, or sheep?
May we peep like them and see
Jesus asleep?
If we touch His tiny hand
Will He awake?
Will He know we've come so far
Just for His sake?
Great kings have precious gifts
And we have naught (ноль)
Little smiles and little tears
Are all we brought.
For all weary (утомленных) children
Mary must weep
Here, on His bed of straw
Sleep, children, sleep.
God in His mother's arms
Babes in the byre
Sleep, as they sleep who find
Their heart's desire.
