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.
May you all have a Blessed Christmas
and a Fruitful New Year.
