A CHRISTMAS SONG.
White was the star that burst Low in the sky; Wond’ring, the three who went Silently by. Cold was the bed they found, Helpless the Child; Yet there was mother-love When Mary smiled! Dear were the gifts they brought. Unto the Inn; But dearer far their hearts, Worshipping Him 1 There is no star to guide Us where He lies; No smile like that that once Lit Mary's eyes. Cradle and Child are gone; And the wise men— We hax-e no gifts like they Brought to Him then! Yet all we have we bring— Hearts worship high— This is the myrrh we give As we go by! —UNA CURRIE. Christchurch, December 21.
