Christmas Poem by Cecil Leslie
Long ago in manger law a primal star its sheen unfurled The night dissolved and Hebe a Holy Child to save the world Hethichom's star sought afar while Christmas chime floats across the moor The hope to bring things unto hearts of rich and poor Calvary's cry oercast the sky to save the Blood from mockers flight Yet all was aflame with Jesse's name when He rose Now frosted thyme brings Santa Claus each year to keep the tryst for risen Christ with mule children far and near
