Christmas 2020
"Music I love–but never strain
Could kindle raptures so divine,
So grief assuage, so conquer pain,
And rouse this pensive heart of mine–
As that we hear on Christmas morn,
Upon the wintry breezes borne.
Though Darkness still her empire keep,
And hours must pass, ere morning break;
From troubled dreams, or slumbers deep,
That music kindly bids us wake:
It calls us, with an angel's voice,
To wake, and worship, and rejoice;
To greet with joy the glorious morn,
Which angels welcomed long ago,
When our redeeming Lord was born,
To bring the light of Heaven below;
The Powers of Darkness to dispel,
And rescue Earth from Death and Hell."

I know a lot of us are struggling one way or another at the moment, but I sincerely hope Christmas brings you a moment of much needed respite, and that everyone can find it in their hearts to feel love, peace and joy of the festive season.
Merry Christmas Vesna. What a lovely poem by Anne, thank you for sharing it. Glad you managed a visit to Haworth this Christmas x
