<h3 id="Christmas_in_Heaven">Christmas in Heaven</h3>
<p>HOW hushed they were in Heaven that night,<br/>
How lightly all the angels went,<br/>
How dumb the singing spheres beneath<br/>
Their many-candled tent!</p>
<p>How silent all the drifting throng<br/>
Of earth-freed spirits, strangely torn<br/>
By dim and half-remembered pain<br/>
And joy but newly born!</p>
<p>The Glory in the Highest flamed<br/>
With awful, unremembered ray—<br/>
But quiet as the falling dew<br/>
Was He who went away.</p>
<p>So swift He went, His passing left<br/>
A low, bright door in Heaven ajar—<br/>
With God it was a covenant,<br/>
To man it seemed a star.</p>
