By Elizabeth Macldo.x Roberts
If Bethlehem were here today,
Or this were very long ago,
There wouldn’t be a winter-time,
Nor any cold or snow.
I’d run out through the garden gate,
And down along the pasture walk,
And off beside the cattle-barns
I’d hear a kind of gentle talk.
I’d move the heavy iron chain
And pull away the wooden pin,
I’d push the door a little bit.
And tiptoe very softly in.

ANNUAL DINNER PARTY

The pigeons and the yellow hens, II
And all the cows would stand away; “
Their eyes would open wide to see
A lady in the manger hay
If this were very long ago
And Bethlehem were here today.
And mother held my hand and smiled,
1 mean, the lady would — and she
Would take the wooly blankets off
Her little boy so I could see.
His shut up eyes would be asleep
And he would look like our John,
And he would be all crumpled too.
And have a pinkish color on.
I’d watch his breath go in and out
His little clothes would be all white
I’d slip my finger in His hand
To feel how He could hold it tight.
And she would smile and say, “Take
care,”
The mother Mary would, “Take care;”
And I would kiss His little hand
And touch His hair.
While Mary put the blankets back
The gentle talk would soon begin
And when I’d tiptoe softly out,
I’d meet the wise men going in.
