English poem
A Child’S Christmas Carol
by Nora Archibald Smith (1859–1934)
What is the fairest Christmas gift A little child can bring? A heart, as pure and white as plume That drops from angel’s wing. Oh, glad hearts sing, And joy bells ring, In the bright December weather.
What is the sweetest Christmas song A little child can sing? A song of love, of heavenly love, That flows for everything. Oh, glad hearts sing, And joy bells ring, In the bright December weather.
What is the dearest Christmas tune The belfry chimes can ring? A birthday carol they can sound, The birthday of the King. Oh, glad hearts sing, And joy bells ring, In the bright December weather.
