Horizon’s verge, high o’er them all appears,

Clearer than all beside, the shape of him

Who gave his name to Athens’ noblest age,

Whose life gave history her brightest page.

[EDITOR’S NOTE-BOOK.]

Hail the night, all hail the morn,

When the Prince of Peace was born;

When amid the wakeful fold,

Tidings good the angel told.
