hristmas Greetings
From all of us
Spanning the night with brilliance secular,
From curb to curb as far as eye can see,—
A silvery skein of tinsel, star on star,—
The symbols seem to mock infinity.
Somewhere a raucous organ croaks and caws,
And on a corner with his tinkling bell
oA paunchy and bewhiskered Santa Claus
Le Anticipates the wonder of Noel.
It is a sign that we have found the dawn
Whose risen sun illumes the paynim dark?
Or but a proof of reverence withdrawn
To label Jesus with the dollar mark?
\ |
We who have faltered where the light is low
Turn to our missals, whelmed by doubt and shame4¥s
To see the lamp thus darkened and to know ’
That we have worshipped Mammon in His name. <3
And yet the error, glaring though it be,
2 Seems softened as well-wishing once again
