My true love gave to me, eleven pipers piping, ten Lords a-leaping, nine ladies dancing, eight maids a-milking, seven swans a-swimming, six geese a-laying, five golden rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.
The pipers illustrate each of Jesus' eleven faithful apostles; Peter, James (son of Zebedee), John, Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James (son of Alphaeus), Thaddeus and Simon. Like a musician plays his/her music for all to hear, these men were spreading the Good News to everyone they met.
Good Night
