English poem
In Black-And-White
by Eugene Field
Sing, O my heart! Sing thou in rapture this dear morn Whereon the blessed Prince is born!
Oh, hush thee, little Dear-my-Soul, And close thine eyes in dreaming
"This must be the house where the prince will stop," thought Barbara
Share thou this holy time with me, The universal hymn of love
"Nestle down close, fold your hands, and shut your dear eyes!"
"They are killing me!" cried the tree
CHRISTMAS TALES AND CHRISTMAS VERSE
Sing, O my heart! Sing thou in rapture this dear morn Whereon the blessed Prince is born! ]
