 CHRISTMAS CAROL by Sara Teasdale (1911)

 The kings they came from out of the south

 All dressed in ermine fine

 They bore Him gold and chyrsoprase

 And gifts of precious wine.

 The shepherds came from out the north

 Their coats were brown and old;

 They brought Him little new-born lambs

 They had not any gold.......

 The wise men came from out the east

 And they were wrapped in white

 The star that led them all the way

Did glorify the Night!

 The angels came from heaven high,

 And they were clad with wings;

 And LO, they brought a joyful song

 The host of heaven sings!

 The kings they knocked upon the door,

 The wise men entered in,

 The shepherds followed after them, to hear the song begin.....

 The angels sang through all the night,

 Until the rising sun,

 But little Jesus fell asleep

 Before the song was done...................
