Christmas Day
The Christmas chimes are
pealing high
Beneath the solemn Christmas
sky,
And blowing winds their notes
prolong
Like echoes from an angel's
song;
Good will and peace, peace
and good will
Ring out the carols glad and
gay,
Telling the heavenly message
still
That Christ the Child was
born to-day.
In lowly hut and palace hall
Peasant and king keep
festival,
And childhood wears a fairer
guise,
And tenderer shine all
mother-eyes;
The aged man forgets his
years,
The mirthful heart is doubly
gay,
The sad are cheated of their
tears,
For Christ the Lord was born
to-day.
(Susan Coolidge)
