Love came down at Christmas,
Love all lovely, Love
Divine;
Love was born at Christmas,
Star and Angels gave the sign.
Worship we the Godhead,
Love Incarnate, Love Divine;
Worship
we our Jesus:
But wherewith for sacred sign?
Love shall be our token,
Love be yours and love be
mine,
Love to God and all men,
Love for plea and gift and sign.
Christina Rossetti

ReplyDeleteThank you Dorothy, that is a very charitable comment. Chris, we share a great deal in common (age, JD, Grandchildren etc) and now I may add Victorian prose. Pearl, from you that is a great compliment. God bless you all.
