Love came down at Christmas


Love came down at Christmas,
Love all lovely, love divine;
Love was born at Christmas,
Star and angels gave the sign.

Love shall be our token
Love be yours and love be mine,
Love to God and all men,
Love for plea and gift and sign.

- Christina Rossetti

    Thank you! Beautiful poem & lovely pictures! I've been trying to de-bug my hum-bug tonight & this is just what I needed to read. We must be on the same wavelength a bit. I posted a Christina Rossetti poem yesterday (albeit of a different flavor ;-) )

    I have a Shawn Colvin CD with her singing this song. I had no idea it was a Rossetti poem. Thank you!

    (I discovered you when you posted for Chicken and Cheese a few months back. I'm really enjoying your writing.)
