The light of the Christmas star to you.....

 My girl Klara




The light of the Christmas star to you,

The warmth of home and hearth to you,

The cheer and good will of friends to you,

The hope of a childlike heart to you,

The joy of a thousand angels to you,

The love of the Son,

And God’s peace to you.

It is like a critic of God, the world And human nature, pensively seated On the waste throne of his own wilderness. Deeplier, deeplier, loudlier, loudlier, The trees are swaying, swaying, swaying." -   Wallace Stevens, The Region November
