Thread Name: Lyr Req: Bethlehemm's Stall
Subject: Bethlehemm's Stall
Bethlehem's Stall is a 16th or 17th century Basque Carol. Have one verse of lyrics, but it seems to be the start of a story and would like to find additional verses. The verse I have goes like this: Bethlehem's darkened city, Mary and Joseph sought. Asking (for love or pity) Haven for hearts distraught. Houses were shut upon them, Faces were cold and stark. Fire there was none to warm them, Candle to light the dark. Thanks for any help.
