Explore "Christmas Hymn" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Listen not to the word that would have you believe / That the voice of the age is a moan; / That the red hand of wrong / Is triumphant and strong, / And that wrong is triumphant alone; / There was never a time on the face of the earth / When love was so near its own.
Do you think that the love which has died for the world / Has not lived for the world also? / Filling man with the fire / Of a boundless desire / To love all with a love that shall grow? / It was not for nothing the White Christ was born / Two thousand years ago.
