Christmas Poetry
A Christmas Carol
Before the paling of the stars,
Before the earliest cock-crow
Jesus Christ was born:
Born in a stable,
Cradled in a manger,
In the world His hands had made
Priest and king lay fast asleep
Young and old lay fast asleep
Saint and angel, ox and ass,
Before the Christmas daybreak
Jesus on His mother's breast
Spotless Lamb of God was He,
Let us kneel with Mary maid,
With Joseph bent and hoary,
With saint and angel, ox and ass,
To hail the King of Glory.
Christina Georgina Rossetti
