The words 'round yon virgin' form part of the sentence: 'All is calm, all is bright,
round yon virgin mother and child.'

This means that everything around Mary (the virgin mother) and Jesus (the child) is calm and bright. 'Yon' is a form of 'yonder', which means 'over there'.

'Everything is calm and bright around that virgin mother over there and her child.'

The lyrics "round yon virgin" from the song "Silent Night" refer to the Virgin Mary, who gave birth to Jesus in the Christian tradition. The phrase emphasizes the purity and holiness of Mary as she cradles the newborn Jesus. It reflects the reverence and awe surrounding the miraculous event of Jesus' birth, a central theme in the Christmas carol.
