Chesterton wrote many poems about Christmas -- here is just one of them
- The Christ-child lay on Mary's lap,
- His hair was like a light.
- (O weary, weary were the world,
- But here is all aright.)
- The Christ-child lay on Mary's breast,
- His hair was like a star.
- (O stern and cunning are the kings,
- But here the true hearts are.)
- The Christ-child lay on Mary's heart,
His hair was like a fire. - (O weary, weary is the world,
- But here the world's desire.)
- The Christ-child stood at Mary's knee,
- His hair was like a crown.
- And all the flowers looked up
And all the stars looked down.
