Thread Name: Meaning- masters in this hall
Subject: RE: Meaning- masters in this hall
I seem to be having trouble posting- sorry
I'd like to know the meaning of the "hinds" in the last verse of this carol-
And a little child on her arm had she
"wot ye who is this" said the hinds to me
So who or what are the "hinds"
I have read that these lyrics are some kind of translation by William Morris (the pre-raphaelite artist?)
cheers
Julia
