Christmas Nights

Famous quotes containing the words christmas and/or nights:

    “I heard the bells, on Christmas Day,
    Their old, familiar carols play,
    And wild and sweet
    The words repeat
    Of peace on earth, good will to men.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    “Autumn hath all the summer’s fruitful treasure;
    Gone is our sport, fled is poor Croydon’s pleasure.
    Short days, sharp days, long nights come on apace,
    Ah! who shall hide us from the winter’s face?
    Cold doth increase, the sickness will not cease,
    And here we lie, God knows, with little ease.
    From winter, plague, and pestilence, good Lord, deliver us!”
    —Thomas Nashe (1567–1601)
