A CAROL.
hat sweeter music can. we bring Than a carol, for to eing The birth of this, our heavenly "King? Awake the voice I Awake the string: We seo Him come and know Him ours, Who with His sunshine and His flowers Turns all the patient ground to flowers. Dark and dull night, fly henco away, And give tho honour to this day, That secs December turned to May, If we may ask tho reason, eay: The darling of tho world is come, And fit it is wo find a room To wolcome Him. Tho nobler part Of all tho houso hero is the heart: Which wo will givo Him, and bequeath This holly and this ivy wreath, T» do Him favour who’s our King And Lord of all this revelling. —Robert Herrick.
