First Line: Great, crimson - petaled flower
Last Line: At christmastide!
Subject(s): Poinsettias


Great, crimson-petaled flower,
Glowing in the dark,
I think you are the radiant star
That lighted up the Holy night
In Bethlehem afar.

I think you fell from out the sky
To hide the cruel wound
In pierced side;
And now you bloom in flaming red
At Christmastide!
