When Christmas Comes.

Topics: classic

When Christmas comes, what pleasures spring         From drooping hearts on happy wing,             Like joyous birds that soaring rise             From hidden coverts to the skies.         And echo in the chimes that ring!         Glad millions in wild rapture sing         Hosannaed hopes of welcoming,             While praises blend in harmonies,             When Christmas comes.         Ah, happy hours! Around them cling         The dearest joys that life may bring,             And all the world's despairing cries             Are soothed to sleep with lullabies         That banish every bitter thing,             When Christmas comes!
