Ave Maria was considered a caroling option when I was younger. Log in to see images!

So was this.

Gone away is the bluebird,

Here to stay is a new bird

Later on, we’ll conspire,

As we dream by the fire

To face unafraid,

The plans that we’ve made,

I’ve never really considered the lyrics of this song but they are actually sort of sinister. I get the bluebird not being around in the winter but just what is this “new bird” that won’t leave? And that whole conspire by the fire to face our plans unafraid? They are plotting a violent overthrow of the government or something, aren’t they?
