First Line: Twilight and christmas eve
Last Line: The christ-star has risen, it never will set!
Subject(s): Christmas; Nativity, The


TWILIGHT and Christmas Eve—
Sky bright with starry weave,
Moonlight and music o'er earth and in air,
Sweet bell and swelling note,
Heart-hopes that rise and float
Faith-winged to heaven in flash-lights of prayer.

Sunrise and Christmas morn,
Love lies so lowly born—
Heaven and Human in meekness have met;
Hope—tho' the light be low,
Faith—through the blight and blow—
The Christ-star has risen, it never will set!
