THE CHRISTMAS FOREST
(The region between Jerusalem
and Bethlehem was formerly' covered
with a forest of pines, which has
since entirely disappeared.)
The forest in a whisper spoke,
Vine to flower, and pine to oak;
Prom holy-hiU'd Jerusalem
To where, upon its leafy hem
The humble village clung, "
Calm Bethlehem, dark, yet like a gem.
Enwrapped with light as jewels are,
By trembling radiance of the star.
The skies,that sparkled, far and wide,
The trees, a coming wonder told;
While yet the birds, their songs un
. sung. 1
Dreamed "of the coming of their young.
But, though of splendor bright
The forest breathed, Its boughs were
: hung ' :
With stable shade. No taper's beam
Cast through that dusk its happy gleam.
The angels sang; the shepherds came:
In the low manger shone a flame
That burned with supernatural light.
The pine-trees whispered, through the
night.
4 And through the Savior's birth
Changed not their shadowy gloom to
white,
They in a patient darkness still
Bowed, signing, and obeyed His will.
Vanished is that old forest, now,
And withered wholly, root and bough;
Yet in all Christian realms of earth
Springs a new forest, full of mirth
That lights with radiant cheer r
The. evergreen's enduring worth,
And to that whispering prophet brings j
A glory of the King of Kings, j
' " I
For all our merry Christmas trees
Glow fair with Hamo and revelries,
That cluster round them, year by year;
And fir and pine, or far or near,
Live upright,- gladly die;
Knowing that they to God are dear
And bring to man, illuminate,
A torch that leads to heaven's gate.
Even so tho measure slow of time
Like a full rhythm closed with rhyme
Kale's th patient soul on high;
Brings joy to life, even from a sigh;
And in conclusion sweet
Park grief with gladness can ally.
So shines the forest, whn we meet
With light and song, Corlst'a birth to
greet.
