First Line: The holly glows. The snow flakes fall

Subject(s): Christmas; Nativity, The
The holly glows. The snow flakes fall;
The balsam towers straight and tall;
With tinsel streamers, crescent lights
All twined with mingled greens and whites
Hang thick with many a rainbowed ball.
In memory of the Wise Men's call,
The light appeared and pierced the pall.
For shepherds watching in the heights
The holly glows.
The Christ Child in a tiny stall,
The cattle huddled near the wall
Are circled on all Christmas nights
By one great star with mystic lights:
And like a ruby over all
The holly glows.
