Christmas Reading.
D4WN. Awake, for the day is dawning; The sun is rising- at last! Arise, and welcome the morning; The darkness of night is past! Distant church bells are ringing; Bright dewdrops shine in the flowers; "While the birds for joy are singing In their green and leafy bowers. The eastern sky is glowing. On the hilltops green and bright The rising sun is throwing A glorious golden light. The eun is climbing higher In a sky so blue and c'.env. Like a sweet, harmonious choir Sing the little birds so dear. Farewell, morn! Day is advancing; The glories of dawn have gone by ; The rays of the bright sun are dancing On high in the azure sky. —Trilby. Gore, 1916.
