robert donat - before dawn lyrics

dim+berried is the mistletoe
with globes of sheenless grey
the holly mid ten thousand th+rns
smolders its fires away;
and in the manger jesu sleeps
this christmas day
bull unto bull with hollow throat
makes echo every hill
cold sheep in pastures thick with snow
the air with bleatings fill;
while of his mother’s heart this babe
takes his sweet will
all flowers and b+tterflies lie hid
the blackbird and the thrush
pipe but a little as they flit
restless from bush to bush;
even to the robin gabriel hath
cried softly, “hush!”
now night is astir with burning stars
in darknеss of the snow;
burdened with frankincеnse and myrrh
and gold the strangers go
into a dusk where one dim lamp
burns faintly, lo!
no snowdrop yet its small head nods
in winds of winter drear;
no lark at cas+m+nt in the sky
sings matins shrill and clear;
yet in this frozen mirk the dawn
breathes, spring is here!
