Merry Christmas -- Quotes -- Poem
For somehow, non entirely at Christmas, only all the long twelvemonth through,
The joy that yous hand to others is the joy that comes dorsum to you.
-- John Greenleaf Whittier
Christmas is a fourth dimension when yous larn homesick – fifty-fifty when you’re home. -- Carol Nelson
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild as well as sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men! -- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
(Written on Christmas Day 1863)
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild as well as sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And idea how, every bit the 24-hour interval had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Till ringing, singing on its way,
The populace revolved from nighttime to day,
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 voice, a chime,
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered inwards the South,
And amongst the sound
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
It was every bit if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent,
And made forlorn
The households born
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And inwards despair I bowed my head;
“There is no peace on earth,” I said;
“For loathe is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!”
Then pealed the bells to a greater extent than loud as well as deep:
“God is non dead, nor doth He sleep;
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men.”
