Christmas, 1878.
And let ' s remember all , I pray , As we gladly meet on Christmas Day , Amid the goodly sights we see , That some are not so blessed as we , That some no Christmas keep , but lie
In hopeless , helpless misery . May Charity in gentle guise Light up those pleasant laughing eyes , What seem to throw a gleam on all , In cot ancl farm , ancl manse and hall . May old and young , as now they find
That hearts are true , and friends are kind . Eemember all who are far away , Ancl aU who want on Christmas Day : And as the song and jest go round , As loving hopes and hearts are bound Once more in words of kindly grace ,
As Old Time pauses in its race , To Charity their homage pay , And double the joys of Christmas Day .
Sonnet.
SONNET .
BRO . EEV . at . Gonnox . 'Tis Christmas-tide , ancl cheerless winter's sky The naked fields with frost and cold doth chill , And storms , which through the forests whistle shrill .
But , as 'twere winter ' s scant joys to supply , Hark the glad song : —Glory to God Most High In Highest Heav ' ns above—on earth , good will 'Mong men , and peace . The stars of Heav ' n stood still , As round the shepherds shone full gloriously ,
A light , which made night day , —while in their ears , Sounded from high , that sweet , melodious strain , To usher in the Saviour's promis'd reign Of blessedness , which yet shall wipe all tears From off all eyes , and let the world have peace ,
With love conjoin'd ; and make all Avars to cease . 28 , Sun Street , Tunstall . North Staffordshire .
