The Light Is Coming!
The Christmas season is upon us.  Some Christmas/winter poems for your enjoyment will be posted here in the next few weeks, and perhaps (if time and mental resources permit ;o) they will be interspersed with 'real' blogging.  

 

A Christmas Carol

G.K. Chesterton (1900)

The Christ-child lay on Mary’s lap, His hair was like a light. (O weary, weary were the world, But here is all aright.) The Christ-child lay on Mary’s breast His hair was like a star. (O stern and cunning are the kings, But here the true hearts are.) The Christ-child lay on Mary’s heart, His hair was like a fire. (O weary, weary is the world, But here the world’s desire.) The Christ-child stood on Mary’s knee, His hair was like a crown, And all the flowers looked up at Him, And all the stars looked down.
