    Whence Comes This Rush of Wings Whence comes this rush of wings afar, Following straight the Nol star Birds from the woods in wondrous flight, Bethlehem seek this Holy Night. 'Tell us, ye birds, why come ye here, Into this stable, poor and drear' 'Hast'ning we seek the new-loom King, And all our sweetest music bring.'
