    When the Christmas spirit rules him he comes close to the sublime...

70. Let Christmas not become a thing
    Merely of merchant's trafficking,
    Of tinsel, bell and holly wreath
    And surface pleasure, but beneath

    Through our teeming human maze,
    And help the age of peace to come
    From a Dreamer's martyrdom.

    T hou, O Lord, will I obey.
    M any poor around there be
    A lms give thou, and sympathy,
    S o God's blessing light on thee.
