Christmas - Sir John Betjeman

The bells of waiting Advent ring

The Tortoise stove is lit again

And lamp oil light across the night

Has caught the streaks of winter rain

In many a stained glass window sheen

From Crimson Lake to Hookers Green

The holly in the windy hedge

And round the Manor House the yew

Will soon be stripped to deck the ledge

The altar font and arch and pew

So that the villagers can say

'The church looks nice' on Christmas Day

Provincial Public Houses blaze

Corporation tramcars clang

On lighted tenements I gaze

Where paper decorations hang

And bunting in the red Town Hall

Says 'Merry Christmas to you all'

And London shops on Christmas Eve

Are strung with silver bells and flowers

As hurrying clerks the City leave

To pigeon haunted classic towers

And marbled clouds go scudding by

The many steepled London sky

And girls in slacks remember Dad

And oafish louts remember Mum

And sleepless children's hearts are glad

And Christmas morning bells say come

Even to shining ones who dwell

Safe in the Dorchester Hotel

And is it true

This most tremendous tale of all

Seen in a stained glass window's hue

A Baby in an ox's stall

The Maker of the stars and sea

Become a Child on earth for me

And is it true

For if it is

No loving fingers tying strings

Around those tissued fripperies

The sweet and silly Christmas things

Bath salts and inexpensive scent

And hideous tie so kindly meant

No love that in a family dwells

No carolling in frosty air

Nor all the steeple shaking bells

Can with this single Truth compare

That God was man in Palestine

And lives today in Bread and Wine
