Excerpt from Christmas Tales and Christmas Verse

Why do the bells of Christmas ring?

Why do little children sing?

Once a lovely shining star,

Seen by shepherds from afar,

Gently moved until its light

Made a manger"s cradle bright.

There a darting baby lay,

Pillowed soft upon the hay;

And its mother sung and smiled:

"This is Christ, the holy Child!"

Therefore bells for Christmas ring,

Therefore little children sing.
