SINGING STARS
"O, we knew, we stars, the stable held our King, His glory shaded,
That His baby hands were poising all the spheres and constellations;
Berenice shook her hair down, Like a shower of star-dust braided,
And Arcturus, pale as silver, bent his brows in adorations.
That His baby hands were poising all the spheres and constellations;
Berenice shook her hair down, Like a shower of star-dust braided,
And Arcturus, pale as silver, bent his brows in adorations.
"The stars sang all together, sang their love-songs with the angels,
With the Cherubim and Seraphim their shrilly trumpets blended.
They have never sung together since that night of great evangels,
And the young Child in the manger, and the time of bondage ended."
With the Cherubim and Seraphim their shrilly trumpets blended.
They have never sung together since that night of great evangels,
And the young Child in the manger, and the time of bondage ended."
