A POEM FOR CHRISTMAS He comes when trees are bare, When every leaf is shorn; He comes in frozen air The bleakness to adorn. He comes His love to share with favored or forlorn; He comes with love to spare For all the weary, worn. Let bells ring everywhere And let strife be forsworn: Love comes beyond compare For Jesus Christ is born. --Frances Sydnor Tehie
