She stayeth not for storm or shocks—

Celestial Grace with tender eyes,

And loving lips, and golden locks.

She comes, well-knowing what she seeks;

She breaks the hedge, she enters there:

Love's flush illumes her maiden cheeks;

She hears Yule's chimes upon the air:

She holds aloft that mystic stalk,

With white globes decked, to lovers dear;

"Now, Father Christmas, wake and walk!"
