Do you hear what I hear? original pen and ink and watercolour illustration by Rosie Brooks

Said the night wind to the little lamb, "Do you see what I see? Way up in the sky, little lamb, Do you see what I see? A star, a star, dancing in the night With a tail as big as a kite With a tail as big as a kite"

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy, "Do you hear what I hear? Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy, Do you hear what I hear? A song, a song, high above the trees With a voice as big as the sea With a voice as big as the sea"

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king, "Do you know what I know? In your palace warm, mighty king, Do you know what I know? A child, a child shivers in the cold Let us bring him silver and gold Let us bring him silver and gold"

Said the king to the people everywhere, "Listen to what I say! Pray for peace, people, everywhere, Listen to what I say! The child, the child, sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light He will bring us goodness and light"

Those are the lyrics to "Do You Hear What I Hear?" written by Noel Regney and Gloria Shayne Baker.
