A CHRISTMAS HYMN
ANON
Written in the Chapel of the Manger, in the Convent Church of Bethlehem, Palestine:
In the fields where, long ago,
 Dropping tears, amid the leaves,
Ruth's young feet went to and fro,
 Binding up the scattered sheaves,
In the field that heard the voice
 Of Judea's shepherd King,
Still the gleaners may rejoice,
 Still the reapers shout and sing.
For each mount and vale and plain
 Felt the touch of holier feet.
Then the gleaners of the grain
 Heard, in voices full and sweet,
"Peace on earth, good will to men,"
 Ring from angel lips afar,
While, o'er every glade and glen,
 Broke the light of Bethlehem's star
Star of hope to souls in night,
 Star of peace above our strife,
Guiding, where the gates of death
 Ope to fields of endless life.
Wanderer from the nightly throng
 Which the eastern heavens gem;
Guided, by an angel's song,
 To the Babe of Bethlehem.
Not Judea's hills alone
 Have earth's weary gleaners trod,
Not to heirs of David's throne
 Is it given to "reign with God."
But where'er on His green earth
 Heavenly faith and longing are,
Heavenly hope and life have birth,
 'Neath the smile of Bethlehem's star.
In each lowly heart or home,
 By each love-watched cradle-bed, Where we rest, or where we roam,  Still its changeless light is shed.
In its beams each quickened heart,
 Howe'er saddened or denied,
Keeps one little place apart
 For the Hebrew mother's Child.
And that inner temple fair
 May be holier ground than this,
Hallowed by the pilgrim's prayer,
 Warmed by many a pilgrim's kiss.
In its shadow still and dim,
 Where our holiest longings are,
Rings forever Bethlehem's hymn,
 Shines forever Bethlehem's star.
# Our American Holidays - Christmas/A Christmas Hymn (Domett)

A CHRISTMAS HYMN
ALFRED DOMETT
It was the calm and silent night!
 Seven hundred years and fifty-three
Had Rome been growing up to might,
 And now was Queen of land and sea.
No sound was heard of clashing wars;
 Peace brooded o'er the hush'd domain;
Apollo, Pallas, Jove and Mars,
 Held undisturb'd their ancient reign.
 In the solemn midnight
 Centuries ago.
'T was in the calm and silent night!
 The senator of haughty Rome
Impatient urged his chariot's flight,
 From lordly revel rolling home.
Triumphal arches gleaming swell
 His breast with thoughts of boundless sway;
What reck'd the Roman what befell
 A paltry province far away,
 In the solemn midnight
 Centuries ago!
Within that province far away
 Went plodding home a weary boor:
A streak of light before him lay,
 Fall'n through a half-shut stable door
Across his path. He pass'd—for nought
 Told what was going on within;
How keen the stars! his only thought;
 The air how calm and cold and thin,
 In the solemn midnight
 Centuries ago!
O strange indifference!—low and high
 Drows'd over common joys and cares:
The earth was still—but knew not why;
 The world was listening—unawares.
How calm a moment may precede  One that shall thrill the world for ever!
To that still moment none would heed,
 Man's doom was link'd, no more to sever,
 In the solemn midnight
 Centuries ago.
It is the calm and solemn night!  A thousand bells ring out, and throw
Their joyous peals abroad, and smite
 The darkness, charm'd and holy now.
The night that erst no name had worn,
 To it a happy name is given;
For in that stable lay new-born
 The peaceful Prince of Earth and Heaven,
 In the solemn midnight
 Centuries ago.
# Our American Holidays - Christmas/A Christmas Insurrection

A CHRISTMAS INSURRECTION
ANNE P. L. FIELD
In the hush of a shiver Christmas-tide dawn  Sing hey! sing ho! heigho! Three small frozen figures hunt stiff and forlorn  Sing hey! sing ho! heigho! Three dim ghostly forms in the glimmering gray Locked up in the dark cold storage quarters were they Awaiting the coming of glad Christmas day  Sing hey! sing ho! heigho!
Suspended each one from a hickory twig  Sing hey! sing ho! heigho! A turkey, a goose, and a little fat pig  Sing hey! sing ho! heigho! With chestnuts the turkey was garnished and stuffed With onions and sage was the goose-carcass puffed, While piggy was spiced, and hi sneck was beruffed  Sing hey! sing ho! heigho!
Three spirits regretful were hovering near  Sing hey! sing ho! heigho!
"Look!" gobbled the turkey's, "what tragedy's here!"  Sing hey! sing ho! heigho! "For this did they tempt me with fattening food, For this did I bring up my beautiful brood, I always thought farmers uncommonly rude!:  Sing hey! sing ho! heigho!
The goose spirit trembled, then hissingly said  Sing hey! sing ho! heigho! "Most men care for nothing except to be fed!"  Sing hey! sing ho! heigho! "What horror is this, filled with onions and sage To be served on a platter at my tender age! 'Tis enough any well-disposed fowl to enrage!"  Sing hey! sing ho! heigho!
The phantom pig grunted, "Do please look at that!"  Sing hey! sing ho! heigho! "Oh! why did I grow up so rosy and fat!"  Sing hey! Sing ho! heigho! "They put in my mouth a sweet, juicy corncob Just when of sensations my palate they rob, Do you wonder such sights make a spirit-pig sob!"  Sing hey! sing ho! heigho!
Confering, the spirits resolved on a plan  Sing hey! sing ho! heigho!
By which to wreak vengeance on merciless man  Sing hey! sing ho! heigho! "We'll each disagree with the human inside, We'll cause indigestion and damage his pride, And the pains of this Christmas we'll spread far and wide!"  Sing hey! sing ho! heigho!

A CHRISTMAS CAROL
AUBREY DE VERE
They leave the land of gems and gold,
 The shining portals of the East;
For Him, the woman's Seed foretold,
 They leave the revel and the feast.
To earth their sceptres they have cast,
 And crowns by kings ancestral worn;
They track the lonely Syrian waste;
 They kneel before the Babe new born.
O happy eyes that saw Him first;
 O happy lips that kissed His feet:
Earth slakes at last her ancient thirst;
 With Eden's joy her pulses beat.
True kings are those who thus forsake
 Their kingdoms for the Eternal King;
Serpent, her foot is on thy neck;
 Herod, thou writhest, but canst not sting.
He, He is King, and He alone
 Who lifts that infant hand to bless;
Who makes His mother's knee His throne,
 Yet rules the starry wilderness.
# Our American Holidays - Christmas/A Christmas Carol for Children

A CHRISTMAS CAROL FOR CHILDREN
MARTIN LUTHER
Good news from heaven the angels bring, Glad tidings to the earth they sing: To us this day a child is given, To crown us with the joy of heaven.
This is the Christ, our God and Lord, Who in all need shall aid afford: He will Himself our Saviour be, From sin and sorrow set us free.
To us that blessedness He brings, Which from the Father's bounty springs: That in the heavenly realm we may With Him enjoy eternal day.
All hail, Thou noble Guest, this morn, Whose love did not the sinner scorn! In my distress Thou cam'st to me: What thanks shall I return to Thee?
Were earth a thousand times as fair, Beset with gold and jewels rare, She yet were far too poor to be A narrow cradle, Lord, for Thee.
Ah, dearest Jesus, Holy Child! Make Thee a bed, soft, undefiled,
Within my heart, that it may be A quiet chamber kept for Thee.
Praise God upon His heavenly throne, Who gave to us His only Son: For this His hosts, on joyful wing, A blest New Year of mercy sing.
# Our American Holidays - Christmas/A Christmas Letter From Australia

A CHRISTMAS LETTER FROM AUSTRALIA
DOUGLAS SLADEN
’Tis Christmas, and the North wind blows; ’twas two years yesterday Since from the Lusitania’s bows I looked o’er Table Bay, A tripper round the narrow world, a pilgrim of the main, Expecting when her sails unfurled to start for home again.
’Tis Christmas, and the North wind blows; today our hearts are one, Though you are ’mid the English snows and I in Austral sun; You, when you hear the Northern blast, pile high a mightier fire,
Our ladies cower until it’s past in lawn and lace attire
I fancy I can picture you upon this Christmas night, Just sitting as you used to do, the laughter at its height; And then a sudden, silent pause intruding on your glee, And kind eyes glistening because you chanced to think of me.
This morning when I woke and knew ’twas Christmas come again, I almost fancied I could view white rime upon the pane, And hear the ringing of the wheels upon the frosty ground, And see the drip that downward steals in icy casket bound.
I daresay you’ll be on the lake, or sliding on the snow, And breathing on your hands to make the circulation flow, Nestling your nose among the furs of which your boa’s made,— The Fahrenheit here registers a hundred in the shade.
It is not quite a Christmas here with the unclouded sky,
This pure transparent atmosphere, this sun mid-heaven-high; To see the rose upon the bush, young leaves upon the trees, And hear the forest’s summer hush or the low hum of bees.
But cold winds bring not Christmastide, nor budding roses June, And when it’s night upon your side we’re basking in the noon. Kind hearts make Christmas—June can bring blue sky or clouds above; The only universal spring is that which comes of love.
And so it's Christmas in the South as on the North-sea coasts, Though we are staved with summer-drouth and you with winter frosts, And we shall have our roast beef here, and think of you the while, Though all the watery hemisphere cuts off the mother isle.
Feel sure that we shall think of you, we who have wandered forth, And many a million thoughts will go to-day from south to north; Old heads will muse on churches old, where bells will ring to-day—
The very bells, perchance, which tolled their fathers to the clay.
And now, good night! and I shall dream that I am with you all, Watching the ruddy embers gleam athwart the panelled hall; Nor care if I dream or not, though severed by the foam, My heart is always in the spot which was my childhood’s home.

A CHRISTMAS LULLABY
JOHN ADDINGTON SYMONDS
Sleep, baby, sleep! The Mother sings:
Heaven's angels kneel and fold their wings.
 Sleep, baby, sleep!
With swathes of scented hay Thy bed
By Mary's hand at eve was spread.
 Sleep, baby, sleep!
At midnight came the shepherds, they
Whom seraphs wakened by the way.
 Sleep, baby, sleep!
And three kings from the East afar,
Ere dawn came, guided by the star.
 Sleep, baby, sleep!
They brought Thee gifts of gold and gems.
Pure orient pearls, rich diadems.
 Sleep, baby, sleep!
But Thou who liest slumbering there,
Art King of Kings, earth, ocean, air.
 Sleep, baby, sleep!
Sleep, baby, sleep! The shepherds sing:
Through heaven, through earth, hosannas ring.
 Sleep, baby, sleep!

A CHRISTMAS CAROL
JOSIAH GILBERT HOLLAND
There’s a song in the air!  There’s a song in the sky!  There’s a mother’s deep prayer  And a baby’s low cry! And the star rains its fire while the Beautiful sing, For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a king.
 There’s a tumult of joy  O’er the wonderful birth,  For the virgin's sweet boy  Is the Lord of the earth, Ay! the star rains its fire and the Beautiful sing, For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a king.
 In the light of that star  Lie the ages impearled;  And that song from afar  Has swept over the world. Every hearth is aflame, and the Beautiful sing In the homes of the nations that Jesus is King.
 We rejoice in the light,  And we echo the song  That comes down through the night  From the heavenly throng.
Ay! we shout to the lovely evangel they bring,
And we greet in his cradle our Saviour and King!
# Poems (Piatt)/Volume 2/Notes

NOTES.
(1) Polycrates, the too-fortunate King, whose story is told by Herodotus.
(2) The pathetic little episode to which this piece refers is related in the third book of Virgil's Æneid, lines 482-492, where the poet describes Æneas meeting Andromache during his wanderings, after the fall of Troy, with his son Ascanius (also called Iülus). To the latter Andromache gives some garments wrought by herself, and in presenting them she recalls her own boy Astyanax, who, in obedience to an oracle, had been thrown headlong from the walls of Troy and killed. This was after the death of Hector, his father, whose parting with Andromache—in which the child "headed like a star," together with "the horse-hair plume," is mentioned—forms one of the most famous passages in the Iliad of Homer. The passage in Virgil is literally as follows:—"Andromache, sad with the last parting, brings garments figured over with golden embroidery and a Phrygian cloak for Ascanius, and loads him with woven gifts, and thus speaks,—"Take these, too, my boy, and may they be to thee mementoes of my handiwork, and bear witness to the lasting love of Andromache, Hector's wife; take these last gifts of thy friend, O only image remaining to me of my Astyanax. Just such eyes, just such hands, just such features he had, and he would now be growing up in equal age with thee."
(3) Written after reading certain newspaper discussions as to the treatment of the "tramp."

I join in the reversal of the judgment in this case because the Police Chief's testimony, quoted in footnote 10 of the Court's opinion, seems to me to require acceptance of petitioner's claim that his confession was induced through fear of mob violence.

# Pay Freeze

Memorandum published by whitehouse.gov on January 21, 2009. Memorandum filed on January 23, 2009, at 8:45 A.M. and published at the Federal Register on January 26, 2009.
Administration of Barack Obama, 2009
January 21, 2009
By the President of the United States of America
A Memorandum
Subject: Pay Freeze
Memorandum for the Assistant to the President and the White House Chief of Staff
The United States is in a period of severe economic stress. Too many Americans have lost their jobs, their homes, their health insurance, or a substantial part of their retirement savings, and many more feel uncertain about the future.
In these circumstances, Government must act forcefully and creatively to stimulate our economic recovery, investing in infrastructure, innovative energy technologies, and education. It must act quickly to provide assistance to average Americans.
Many have accepted the call to serve in Government and to assist me in restoring a sound economy and in improving the lives of average Americans. In this challenging economic period, it is only appropriate that senior officials on the White House staff forgo pay increases until further notice.
Accordingly, as a signal of our shared commitment to restoring the country's economic vitality and because of the serious economic conditions we are facing, I intend to freeze the salaries of senior members of the White House staff, to the extent permitted by law. I direct you to report back to me within 30 days with recommendations for actions to implement this freeze.
This memorandum is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by a party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
This memorandum shall be published in the Federal Register.

Petitioner, a mentally dull 19-year-old Negro with a fifth-grade education, was convicted in a state court of first degree murder and sentenced to death. At his trial, there was admitted in evidence, over his objection, a confession shown by undisputed evidence to have been obtained in the following circumstances: He was arrested ithout a warrant and never taken before a magistrate or advised of his right to remain silent or to have counsel, as required by state law. After being held incommunicado for three days without counsel, advisor or friend, and with very little food, he confessed after being told by the Chief of Police that "there would be 30 or 40 people there in a few minutes that wanted to get him" and that, if he would tell the truth, the Chief of Police probably would keep them from coming in. Held: Petitioner was denied due process of law contrary to the Fourteenth Amendment; the judgment of the State Supreme Court affirming the conviction is reversed; and the cause is remanded for further proceedings not, inconsistent with this opinion. Pp. 561–569.
(a) It is obvious from the totality of the course of conduct shown by undisputed evidence that the confession was coerced and did not constitute an "expression of free choice." Pp. 562–567.
(b) Even though there may have been sufficient evidence, apart from the coerced confession, to support a conviction, the admismission in evidence of the coerced confession, over petitioner's objection, vitiates the judgment, because it violates the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Pp. 567–568.
(c) Stein v. New York, 346 U.S. 156, distinguished. P. 568, n.15.
226 Ark. 910, 225 S.W.2d 312, reversed and cause remanded.
Wiley A. Branton argued the cause and filed a brief for petitioner.
Thorp Thomas, Assistant Attorney General of Arkansas, argued the cause for respondent. With him on the brief was Bruce Bennett, Attorney General.

# Political Ballads of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries/Volume 1/The Dominion of the Sword

A song made in the Rebellion.
[This admirable song was written probably in the interval between the murder of King Charles I. and the final triumph of the Independents over the Presbyterians and Royalists, 1649–50.]
# Political Ballads of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries/Volume 2/Lay by your Reason

[The Jacobite author of this ballad, whilst satirising the government of William, affects a sympathy for the non-jurors, whose clamour upon the appointment of bishops to the vacant sees revived for a season the expiring hopes of James’s adherents.]
To the tune of “Love lies Bleeding.”
* ↑ Alluding to the famous Declaration of William, which was published a few hours only before his descent upon our shores.
* ↑ Bentinck, the first Earl of Portland, and the Earl of Carmarthen, subsequently Duke of Leeds. The former stood highest in William’s favor, and, being a foreigner, excited the jealousy of the English nobility. His influence over the King may be judged from the following contemporary epigram, entitled a “Description of a Hampton Court life:”— “Man and wife are both one  In flesh and bone; From hence you may gues what they mean;  The Queen drinks chocolate  To make the King fat, The King hunts to make the Queen lean.  Mr. Dean, he says grace,  With a reverend face— ‘Make room,’ cries Sir Thomas Duppa:  Then Bentick uplocks  The King in a box, And you see him no more till supper!”
* ↑ Alluding to the clause in the bill for regulating trials in cases of high treason, which enacted that no person should be convicted of that crime committed more than three years before the indictment was found.
* ↑ Archbishop Tillotson, who succeeded the nonjuring Sancroft in the archbishopric of Canterbury, was most unjustly suspected, on account of his friendship for and correspondence with Locke, Limborck, Le Clerc, and others, of entertaining Socinian views. “All considerate inquisitive men,” as he once observed in his own defence, “that are above fancy and enthusiasm, must be either Socinians or atheists,” in the estimation of men of his own day.

TO ———
WITH THE FOLLOWING POEM.
I send you here a sort of allegory, (For you will understand it) of a soul, A sinful soul possess'd of many gifts, A spacious garden full of flowering weeds, A glorious Deal, large in heart and brain. That did love Beauty only, (Beauty seen In all varieties of mould and mind) And Knowledge for its beauty; or if Good, Good only for its beauty, seeing not That Beauty, Good, and Knowledge, are three sisters That doat upon each other, friends to man. Living together under the same roof, And never can be sunder'd without tears.
And he that shuts Love out, in turn shall be Shut out from Love, and on her threshold lie Howling in outer darkness. Not for this Was common clay ta'en from the common earth, Moulded by God, and temper'd with the tears Of angels to the perfect shape of man.
# Poems (Tennyson, 1843)/Volume 2/A Farewell

A FAREWELL.
Flow down, cold rivulet, to the sea, Thy tribute wave deliver: No more by thee my steps shall be, For ever and for ever.
Flow, softly flow, by lawn and lea, A rivulet then a river: No where by thee my steps shall be, For ever and for ever.
But here will sigh thine alder tree, And here thine aspen shiver; And here by thee will hum the bee, For ever and for ever.
A thousand suns will stream on thee, A thousand moons will quiver; But not by thee my steps shall be, For ever and for ever.
