                              How Still The Night
                                                   By James Dillet Freeman

How still the night! How fair the night!
           It wears a snowy crown;
    Robed like the angel choir in white,
        The healing hills look down.
      Alight with silver swarms of stars,
            The laden trees bend low;
 Tonight earth's cares and stains and scars
          Are washed away with snow,
       The world lies like a child asleep,
             Untroubled in the wide
           White solitude of silence, deep
              Peace of Christmastide.
