The cottage hearth beams warm and bright, <br />The candles gaily glow; <br />The stars emit a kinder light <br />Above the drifted snow. <br /> <br />Down from the sky a magic steals <br />To glad the passing year, <br />And belfries sing with joyous peals, <br />For Christmastide is here!<br /><br />Howard Phillips Lovecraft<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/christmastide-2/
