That were wrapped in robes of snow,

The sweet child voices oft have said,

“We’ve a baby; did you know?”

We all forget what our griefs have been,

And the toils and tears and strife,

As the wee bright angels come to earth,

Just born to an endless life;

And the words will fall like a holy thrill,

As adown life’s path we go,

And listen yet to the echoes sweet,
