Read Time:35 Second

This is from a beautiful tall, skinny book entitled A Christmas Day With Whittier, 1911. It has some really beautiful pictures! At first, I thought that the second ‘o’ in the second picture was a misprint, but I just realized that it isn’t! It is the exclamation without punctuation.

With glad
jubilations
Bring hope
To the nations
The dark
night is ending
and dawn
has begun;
Rise, Hope
of the ages,
arise like
the sun,
All speech
flow to music,
all hearts
beat as one!

O our free
hearts
beat the warmer
For thy
Breath of snow
The Lumbermen

It is the
blessed
Christmas
tide:
The Christmas
light are
all aglow,
The sacred
lilies bud
and blow.

That’s a beautiful book! So I’m assuming these are taken from some of Whittier’s poems? He is one of my favorite poets.

I think they are taken from Whittier’s poems. I haven’t read much of his work. What is “The Lumbermen”? I guess I should have done more research on it. Haha
I have another book in a similar style. I think it is a different poet, though. I’ll have to blog about that one some day!
