Approaching 2013


 
I'm in the lyrical mood during this holiday season, hope you don't mind reading a poem from Edgar Guest.

A Happy New Year! Grant that I
May bring no tear to any eye
When this New Year in time shall end
Let it be said I'v played the friend,
Have lived and loved and labored here,
And made of it a happy year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to ALL!


The Christmas Night

by Lucy Maud Montgomery

Wrapped was the world in slumber deep,
By seaward valley and cedarn steep,
And bright and blest were the dreams of its sleep;
All the hours of that wonderful night-tide through
The stars out-blossomed in fields of blue,
A heavenly chaplet, to diadem
The King in the manger of Bethlehem.

Out on the hills the shepherds lay,
Wakeful, that never a lamb might stray,
Humble and clean of heart were they;
Thus it was given them to hear
Marvelous harpings strange and clear,
Thus it was given them to see
The heralds of the nativity.


 
In the dim-lit stable the mother mild
Looked with holy eyes on her child,
Cradled him close to her heart and smiled;
Kingly purple nor crown had he,
Never a trapping of royalty;
But Mary saw that the baby's head
With a slender nimbus was garlanded.

Speechless her joy as she watched him there,
Forgetful of pain and grief and care,
And every thought in her soul was a prayer;
While under the dome of the desert sky
The Kings of the East from afar drew nigh,
And the great white star that was guide to them
Kept ward o'er the manger of Bethlehem.

Ady: Karácsonyi rege



Szeretnem ezt a gyonyoru verset magyar barataimmal megosztani aldasos Karacsonyt kivanva.
