Merry Christmas!
The Christ-child lay on Mary’s lap, His hair was like a light.
(O weary, weary were the world, But here is all aright.)
The Christ-child lay on Mary’s breast His hair was like a star.
(O stern and cunning are the kings, But here the true hearts are.)
The Christ-child lay on Mary’s Heart, His hair was like a fire.
(O weary, weary is the world, But here the world’s desire.)
The Christ-child stood on Mary’s knee, His hair was like a crown,
And all the flowers looked up at Him, And all the stars looked down.
GK Chesterton
