In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.
Heaven cannot hold Her, nor scorched earth sustain;
Idols all must scatter before her subtle rain
In the dark hereafter, Kali names her price
Lovely Triple Goddess, Lady Jesus Christ.
Fast for Her, some ritual melding night to day,
Her breasts abound with plenty, belly ripe with play;
Dance in burning circles the goddess' icy breath
Death in Life she's chanting - Eternal Life in Death
What for can I give Her, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
If I were a Wise Man, I would do my part;
Yet what I can I give Her: give my heart.
