Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 288
ds are white and bare;Low rides the sun, the day is done, But joy is in the air:For t is Christmas ! Christmas ! Christmas ! Though the skies be dark and drear;And in snowy belfries swingingAll the Christmas bells are ringing,Far and near! Deepens the gathering gloom of night Above the wintry snow… … The night is still, the bells have ceased, Sweet carols sound afar ;And darkness reigns—lo, in the east A new and radiant Star!Fort is Christmas ! Christmas ! Christmas ! Breaks again the blessed morn,While the joyful bells are ringing.And the children all are singing:Christ is born !
