ENCOURAGEMENT CORNER 

Christmas Bells by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I heard the bells on Christmas DayTheir old, familiar carols play,    And wild and sweet    The words repeatOf peace on earth, good-will to men!

And thought how, as the day had come,The belfries of all Christendom    Had rolled along    The unbroken songOf peace on earth, good-will to men!

Till ringing, singing on its way,The world revolved from night to day,    A voice, a chime,    A chant sublimeOf peace on earth, good-will to men!

Then from each black, accursed mouthThe cannon thundered in the South,    And with the sound    The carols drownedOf peace on earth, good-will to men!

It was as if an earthquake rentThe hearth-stones of a continent,    And made forlorn    The households bornOf peace on earth, good-will to men!

And in despair I bowed my head;“There is no peace on earth,” I said;    “For hate is strong,    And mocks the songOf peace on earth, good-will to men!”

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:“God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;    The Wrong shall fail,    The Right prevail,With peace on earth, good-will to men.”
