Elizabeth-Ellen Long
Of all the animals on earch
I think the luckiest
Are the ox and ass who had
Young Jesus for their guest,
The ox and ass in Bethlehem
Whose privilege and joy
It was to share their stable with
A little homeless Boy.
The luckiest of animals
On earth, both tame and wild,
For they were first to look with love
Upon the Christmas Child!
FIRES
Agnes Louise Dean
The ottoman beside the fire is where I sit and
think
The heat makes me drowsy, the flames make me
blink.
I think about the blazing logs which once were
stately trees
With all their leaves a-dancing, dancing in the
breze,
Green in the Summertime, scarlet in the Fall
With starts and snow at Christmas-Tide, most
beautiful of all.
