Christmas
Streets and markets now deserted,
Quietly, every house lights up,
Walking through the lanes I muse
That a festive air
Has touched the world.
Wives and mothers dressed their windows
With bright, exciting gifts and toys,
Children stand and stare in wonder,
Charmed and silent at the sight.
Then I wander past the walls
Outside town and over fields,
Spangled heavens, holy starlight!
A silent world so far away!
Then all at once
From out of nowhere
Faint carols drift across the snow –
Oh, what a blessed time of year!
– Joseph von Eichendorff (1788-1857), German poet and novelist
