  1. A Christmas Carol
    by G.K.Chesterton

    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
