Hyett, [1923]\nWHY do the bells of Christmas ring?\n Why do little children sing?\nOnce a lovely shining star,\n Seen by shepherds from afar,\n Gently moved until its light\n Made a manger's cradle bright.\nThere a darling baby lay,\n Pillowed soft upon the hay;\n And its mother sung and smiled:\n \"This is Christ, the holy Child!\"\nTherefore bells for Christmas ring,\n Therefore little children sing.\n--EUGENE FIELD","title":"Fifty Christmas Poems for Children: Song","type":"page"}
