Hyett, [1923]\nWHEN the herds were watching\n In the midnight chill,\n Came a spotless lambkin\n From the heavenly hill.\nSnow was on the mountains,\n And the wind was cold,\n When from God's own garden\n Dropped a rose of gold.\nWhen 'twas bitter winter,\n Houseless and forlorn\n In a star-lit stable\n Christ the Babe was born.\nWelcome, heavenly lambkin,\n Welcome, golden rose;\n Alleluia, Baby\n In the swaddling clothes!\n--WILLIAM CANTON","title":"Fifty Christmas Poems for Children: Carol","type":"page"}
