Christmas Bonus

from Salvation and Stuff · host Henry Longfellow, Cameron Hood, Carlie Alderink

I heard the bells on Christmas Day by Henry Longfellow I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old, familiar carols play, and wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, good-will to men! And thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along The unbroken song Of peace on earth, good-will to men! Till ringing, singing on its way, The world revolved from night to day, A voice, a chime, A chant sublime Of peace on earth, good-will to men! Then from each black, accursed mouth The cannon thundered in the South, And with the sound The carols drowned Of peace on earth, good-will to men! It was as if an earthquake rent The hearth-stones of a continent, And made forlorn The households born Of peace on earth, good-will to men! And in despair I bowed my head; "There is no peace on earth," I said; "For hate is strong, And mocks the song Of peace on earth, good-will to men!" Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead, nor doth He sleep; The Wrong shall fail, The Right prevail, With peace on earth, good-will to men."

It was Christmas day in 1863 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The house nor the man’s white full beard did little in stopping the cold from piercing through. Had it been a sunshine filled day, the aging man still would have still felt numb inside. Very much against his will, he had grown used to it. He remembered a year earlier recording in his journal, "A merry Christmas' say the children, but that is no more for me."
