by G.K. Chesterton

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 on Mary's knee,  
 His hair was like a crown,  
 And all the flowers looked up at Him,  
 And all the stars looked down.
