THE BIRDS OF BETHLEHEM.

I heard the bells of Bethlehem ring.
Their voice was sweeter than the
priests
I heard the birds of Bethlehem sing
Unbidden In the churchly feasts.
They chung and sung on the swinging
chain
High in the dim and incenSed air.
The priests, with repetitions vain,
Chanted never ending prayer.
So bell and bird and priest | heard,
But voice of bird was most to me.
1t had no ritual, no word,
And yet 1t sounded true and free.
] thought child Jesus were he there,
Would Lie the singing birds the best
And clutch mis- little hands in air
And smile upon his mothers breast.
