"Fifty Christmas Poems for Children", by Florence B. Hyett, [1923],

Christmas

A Boy
was Born at Bethlehem

that knew the haunts of Galilee.

He wandered on Mount Lebanon,

and learned to love each forest tree.

But I was born at Marlborough,

and love the homely faces there;

and for all other men besides

'tis little love I have to spare.

I should not mind to die for them,

my own dear downs, my comrades true.

But that great heart of Bethlehem,

he died for men he never knew.

And yet, I think, at Golgotha,

as Jesus
' eyes were closed in death,

they saw with love most passionate

the village street at Nazareth.
