Wherein our Saviour’s birth is celebrated,
The bird of dawning singeth all night long:
And then, they say, no spirit dare stir abroad,
The nights are wholesome, then no planets strike,
No fairy tale nor witch hath power to charm,
So hallow’d and so gracious is the time.”

Near and Far
Hiddenly
To each other linked are,
That thou canst not stir a flower
Without troubling of a star.”
