“A star swung out of Heaven, ---High over the earth it.swunge.-« A lofty gleaming sentinel, By clouds, in garlands, hung. Its light swept over the mountain, ---And into the valley it swept--- Till it gleamed on the Palace of Caesar, And into the manger crept. The Emperor paused with his goblet, High in bis uplifted hand, And trembled like one with the palsy At the light that flooded the land. A Baby lay in its manger ---And looked with a Baby’s surprisees.’ And lifted its little hands upward, To shelter the ray from its eyes. A searchlight swung from Heaven, A gleaming Christmas star, > And the Wise Men knew its meaning And journeved from afar. A star swings out of Heaven \ -=-A star of godlike birth--- To tell the world and its peoplé When Christmas comes to Earm. AUGUSTA PRESCOTT)
