A CHRISTMAS CAROL.


BY CHRISTINA RossETTI.
In the bleak mid-winter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as IRON,
Water like stone;
snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak mid-winter
Long ago.
II.
Our God, Heaven cannot hold him,
Nor earth sustain,
Heaven and earth shall flee away
When He comes to reign;
In the bleak mid-winter
A stable-plaee sufficed
The Lord God Almighty
Jesus Christ.
Enough for Him whom Cherubim
Worship night and day,
A breastful of milk
And a mangerful of hay;
Enough for Him whom Angels
Fall down before,
The OK and ass and camel
Which adore.
Angels and Archangels
May have gathered there,
Cherubim and Seraphim
Thronged through the air;
But only His Mother
In her maiden bliss
Worshiped the Beloved
With kiss.
V.
What can I give Him,
Poor as l amp
If were Shepherd
Iawould bring lamb;
If were a Wise Man
would do my part
Yet what can give him.
Give my heart.
-Scribner's for January.
