Or osiers by the strcaulet stirred
Beneath the hillside trees;

Or Traveller singing on his way
His wcariness to case.
Rest, little son, till night Is done.
And gloomy darkness fees.
Yet while she spoke, the shepherds ran
In haste the road along.
To find the Mother and the Rabe.
For they had heard the Song
Rest little son. the nights began,
Why DO you toss and sigh
4 brighter star than Others are
Ger yon low roei hangs nigh.
Not 50. my son. mY darling one,

That shines more bright than others are
lis but n lamp that burns afar
Or gIow-WoTins wandering spark;
Some shepherds watch-hrc in the night,
Or traveller torch that blazes bright
10 cheer HIM through the dark
Sleep, little son, till night IS done,
And upward springs the lark
Yet while she spoke, three kings had come,
Three kings who rode from far.
To lay their gifts al Jesus feet,
For they had seen the star
And so today beside our way
The heavenly portents throng,
Yet some there he who never sec
