Edit
Twas the eve before Christmas
...and all through the night
the saints a caroling
under city streetlights
we muse of
a miracle birth
our Lord Jesus
embodied on earth
and sing of
a plight so dreary
that would befall
Joseph and Mary
at the inn
refused as strangers
our good Lord
must rest in a manger
our lyric turn
to a grassy knoll
shepherds at night
are on patrol
shouts of angels
intrude the quiet
their hallelujahs
incite a praise riot
the herdsmen afraid,
shake their knees
but news of good tidings
soon set them at ease
glimpse the Lord
with their eyes
and to the world
they evangelize
magi then come
of from afar
who then follow
the bright East star
worship the Lord
with their gifts
gold, myrrh
and frankincense
thus, there lie the storied bliss
the foreshadow
of Christmas these words spoken true by brothers Luke and Matthew twas the night before Christmas and all through the night the saints a caroling under the city streetlights
