From the postern-door of an abbaye pile
Passes with heavy cheer
A soldier-king in humble mien,
For the shouting foes are near;
The holy men by their altars bide,
In alb and stole they stand;
The incense-fumes the temple fill
From blessèd children's hand.
Passes with heavy cheer

For the shouting foes are near;

In alb and stole they stand;

From blessèd children's hand.
