YULE TIDE.

Her voice is very soft and sweet,
Her heart is brave and strong;
Her vassal, I would fain repeat
Some fragments of her song.


A Birthday-song my heart would sing
Its rapture to express;
My Father’s son must be a king,
And share His consciousness.


Of God’s Self-knowledge comes the Word
That utters all His Thought;
That Word made Flesh by all is heard
Who seek as they are sought.
