Explore "A Christmas Carol" by Christina Georgina Rossetti on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In the bleak mid-winter / Frosty wind made moan, / Earth stood hard as iron, / Water like a stone; / Snow had fallen, snow on snow, / Snow on snow, / In the bleak mid-winter / Long ago.
Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him / Nor earth sustain; / Heaven and earth shall flee away / When He comes to reign: / In the bleak mid-winter / A stable-place sufficed / The Lord God Almighty / Jesus Christ.
Enough for Him whom cherubim / Worship night and day, / A breastful of milk / And a mangerful of hay; / Enough for Him whom angels / Fall down before, / The ox and ass and camel / Which adore.
Angels and archangels / May have gathered there, / Cherubim and seraphim / Throng'd the air, / But only His mother / In her maiden bliss / Worshipped her Beloved / With a kiss.
What can I give Him, / Poor as I am? / If I were a shepherd / I would bring a lamb, / If I were a wise man / I would do my part, -- / Yet what I can I give Him, / Give my heart.
