Beauty Everywhere |
Snowflakes in the air, Carols everywhere; Olden times and ancient rhymes Of love and dreams to share. Sleigh bells in the air, Beauty everywhere; Yuletide by the fireside And joyful memories there. Christmas time is here, We’ll be drawing near. Oh, that we could always see Such spirit through the year. -- Vince Guaraldi, 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' |
I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace on earth, good will to men. And in despair I bowed my head: “There is no peace on earth,” I said, “For hate is strong and mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men.” Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: “God is not dead, nor doth he sleep; The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, With peace on earth, good will to men.” Till, ringing singing, on its way, The world revolved from night to day, A voice, a chime, a chant sublime, Of peace on earth, good will to men! -- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |
Have yourself a merry little Christmas, let your heart be light. From now on, our troubles will be out of sight Here we are as in olden days, happy golden days of yore. Faithful friends who are dear to us gather near to us once more. Through the years, we all will be together, if the Fates allow. Hang a shining star upon the highest bough, and have yourself a merry little Christmas now. -- Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane |
