Christmas Poetry:

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 Wear, Weary is the world,

But here the world’s desire.)

The Christ-child stood at Mary’s knee,

His hair was like a crown,

And all the flowers looked up and Him,

And all the stars looked down.
