TWO CHILD ANGELS
Reading edition
Two Child Angels on Christmas Night, They stood on the brow of Heaven’s hill; The stars beneath them were glancing bright, And the air was clear and still. “That is the Earth that dazzles so— That shines with a glad and a radiant light— That is the Earth where, long ago, I was born on the Christmas Night!” Thus said the one, and the other replied, “Forever dear is the Earth in my sight; For there, full long ago, I died, On the holy Christmas Night!”
