it came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old, from angels bending near the earth, to touch their harps of gold: "peace on the earth, goodwill to men from heavens all gracious king!" the world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing still through the cloven skies they come, with peaceful wings unfurled; and still their heavenly music floats o'er all the weary world: above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing, and ever o'er its babel sounds the blessed angels sing o ye beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low, who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow; look now, for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing; oh rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing

stars of ice 03:36
stars of ice, wheel of moonlight bright, shine on sheep with silvery light, humble shepherds chatting, circled 'round, sit content on grassy heights. sudden light! hark, the angels sing! shepherds crouch in awe, 'mid the cluds the angels proclaim: "god's child is born in bethlehem".

the cold earth slept below; above the cold sky shone; and all around, with a chilling sound, from caves of ice and fields of snow the breath of night like death did flow beneath the sinking moon. the wintry hedge was black; the green grass was not seen; the birds did rest on the bare thorn’s breast, whose roots, beside the pathway track, had bound their folds o’er many a crack which the frost had made between. thine eyes glow’d in the glare of the moon’s dying light; as a fen-fire’s beam on a sluggish stream gleams dimly—so the moon shone there, and it yellow’d the strings of thy tangled hair, that shook in the wind of night. the moon made thy lips pale, beloved; the wind made thy bosom chill; the night did shed on thy dear head its frozen dew, and thou didst lie where the bitter breath of the naked sky might visit thee at will.
