(For the Rev. James B. Dollard)

The Kings of the earth are men of might, / And cities are burned for their delight, / And the skies rain death in the silent night, / And the hills belch death all day!

But the King of Heaven, Who made them all, / Is fair and gentle, and very small; / He lies in the straw, by the oxen's stall -- / Let them think of Him to-day!
