AeTAKER's CHRIsraAs EVE

How slow and soft the snow-dress falls
Upon the wire deserted walls.
As II some Tacious soul. intent
Upon the one sweet deed il meant,
since IN Its grace such bounty lay,
should wrap each bare thing on the way,
TIL all things white and whit er grow,
Except the shadows Earth must throw
Inc tender gray, the peaceful white,
A Quaker setting make tonight;
And so this moonshine, which is shade
Only little lighter laid,
Into my heart still mood has crept,
With such glow as sunrise kept

a nd sunrise has no story now
To move me like the night and snow.
IL those unquiet bells would cease
Clashfng their peals across this peace,
IL seems the hours rare silentness
Zen worldly hearts might chide and bless
And lift the lowest heavenward
To greet the birthday Of the Lord.
can not think the loudest bells
Can utter what pure voice tells;
The Spirit needs no braZen tone
To whisper triumph To His own;
The blessed healing falls to them
Who touch unseen the garments hem;
And hidden deeds are waited higher
Than chantings of an angel choir.
Hoeanna still the mad lips cry,
While still the mad hands cruelty;
But angels watch and women weep,
And theirs the Rising after sleep.
How careth He for Christmas song
To whom all days and songs beloug1
Only an ebbiDg love has need
It's high-t'de readings thus to heed.
Always the willing angels sing
To WORKOUT workers listening;
Always our Christ is In the earth,
Always his love has human birth
In Joy that crowns our later morn
AS In udt an Christmas born.
And vet mind how every year.
When my ripe birthdays draw anear,
Dear Ruth, from out her gaycr life,
With worldly hope and wisdom rife.
Comes to the quiet nest once more.
Bringing the smile ner father wore,
And little gracious gifts, to tell
She keeps by some high miracle
The simple heart meath costly lace,
That needs a double grant of grace.
Though all the year Ruth's tender eyes
To mine are openings of the skies.
Though love unsaid be love complete,
find the special service sweet.
And so, perhaps, these louder chimes,
Smoothing the prose-told hours TO rhy mes,
Like some rare voice God sets To round
The jarring ones of shriller sound;
These spires with grand and silly art,
Climbing to reach the Central Heart;
These broken lilies, and the rush
OF feet where leaning angels hush
May be to clearer eyes than mine
Fresh spellings of a tale divine.
And He whose birthday knew no bliss
Except a woman's troubled kiss,
May still forgive the foolish art,
And hide the meaning in His heart.
