... | {{Style S-Small capitals|Within}} the house was full of light, | ||
{{Style P-Poem|poem=The cheerful fires blazed high and warm; | |||
Without, the snow lay thick and white, | |||
And darker, chiller, grew the night, | |||
And wilder, fiercer, raged the storm. | |||
Within, the children frolicked glad, | |||
The old walls with their laughter rang; | |||
Without, a little ragged lad, | |||
In trembling accents weak and sad, | |||
A Merry Christmas carol sang. | |||
Within, a Mother, young and sweet, | |||
The story of the Christ-child told, | |||
Meanwhile an orphan in the street, | |||
With thin, worn, hands, and unshod feet, | |||
Stood shivering in the bitter cold. | |||
Within, their pleasant pastimes o’er, | |||
The mother bade the children pray | |||
For all God’s homeless, houseless poor, | |||
And knew not from her close-shut door | |||
The carol singer crept away. | |||
Fair brake the Christmas morn, and lo! | |||
With presents to each little bed, | |||
Within, kind friends passed to and fro, | |||
And outside, in the cruel snow, | |||
A little beggar-lad lay dead.}} | |||

... | {{Style S-Small capitals|Once}} I built a beauteous castle, | ||
{{Style P-Poem|poem=Nought on earth seemed half so fair, | |||
A bright rainbow for a staircase, | |||
The foundation—clearest air. | |||
Lilies filled with oil of amber, | |||
Shed abroad a mystic ray; | |||
Balmy summer ne’er departed, | |||
Nor soft music died away. | |||
The tall pillars were great palm trees, | |||
And each palm of shining gold; | |||
Lightly fell the perfumed waters | |||
From bright fountains clear and cold. | |||
Brilliant birds fled to the castle, | |||
All attracted by its light; | |||
Revelled on the yellow fruitage, | |||
Sang throughout the starlit night. | |||
The fair walls were made of rose leaves, | |||
Pure and white as Alpine snow, | |||
And my love dwelt in that castle— | |||
That was all I cared to know. | |||
One sad evening while I lingered, | |||
Lost in visions sweet and fair, | |||
Then behold! it swiftly vanished, | |||
Passed away in lightest air.}} | |||
