CHRISTMAS TREES
Gift-laden all
great trees and small;
these, surely, these
are Christ’s, Christ’s trees.
Spring’s pregnant hour
bears leaf, bears flower,
Which He transmutes
to summer fruits.
October’s flame
burns with His name.
Fir trees and spruce
await His use.
High on its hill
one lone tree will
its great boughs lift
with Christ for gift.
God-laden all,
great trees and small,
green trees and gray
on Christmas day
give Christ away.
