Show Co! Christmas -gomes Again Come, glory night ! Come, spirit light! Come, joy, thy sweet bells ringing! Behold! His star is shining bright; The angel choir Is singing. J But near too near, the cannon's roar, The shield and saber's rattle; The Christmas anthems sound no more. Across the field of battle. Dh. Christmas spirit! Calm our fears. Close down in pity stooping. Alas! Thine eyes are filled with tears. Thy radiant wings are drooping. The happy bells, the joyous bella That set the echoes rolling Through Eilent streets and frosty dells. Are slowly, sadly tolling. .Tome, glory night! Come, spirit light! Come, joy, thy mute bells ringing! Through clouds the star is shining bright; Far off the choir is singing. -Clara E. Putnam, In Oklahoma Farmer. |
