Merry Christmas

Let our renting heart be warmer than the hearth sought on wintry cold nights,
Let love touch and melt the hoar left behind in the morn,
Our kind words louder than the knell of a thousand bells,
Let the messiah dwell in our hearts rapt in love

Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year to all and sundry

Death knell

Brevity of life chime in death

Virility of death knells in life
