“ Nor knew the light that dimmed the stars Brought endless Peace to men— Nor even heard the gracious words That down the ages ring— The Christ is born! the Lord has come, Good-will on earth to bring! ”

“ Chanting, singing, "Cease to mourn, For Christ is born, Peace and joy to all men bringing!" Careless that the chill winds blow, Growing stronger, sweeter, clearer, Noiseless footfalls in the snow Bring the happy voices nearer ”

“ Through the half-open door a bar Of light from one low-hanging star Touches a baby's radiant hair. No sound: the mother, kneeling, lays Her cheek against the little face. Oh human love! Oh heavenly grace! ”
