A Christmas Carol
“H not means this glory round our feet," /he Magi mused, “more bright than morn/” And voices chanted clear and szeeet, ”To-day the Prince of Peace is born.” “// hat means that star," the Shepherds said, "That brightens through the rocky glen/’ And angels, an steering overhead, Sang, “Peace on earth, good-will to men!" 7 is nineteen hundred years and more Since those szeeet oracles were dumb; ll'c wait for Him, like them of yore; /lias, lie seems so slirw to come! Put it was said, id words of gold, No time of sorrow e'er shall dim , That little children might be bold hi perfect trust to come to Him. All round about our feet shall shine A light like that the Wise Men saw, If we our loving wills incline To that szeeet life, which is the Laze. I So shall zee learn to understand The simple faith of shepherds then, .And, clasping kindly hand in hand Sing, “Peace on earth, good-ieill to men!” And they who do their souls no wrong, But keep at eve the faith of morn, Shall doily hear the angel-song, ”To-day the Prince of Peace is born.” —James Russell Lowell.
