ON THE FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS
The Night Before
A Renhai by Vaughn Seward (vs) & Janice Thomson (jt)
Winter bedtime —
the last child tucked in
for the night. /vs
Rising smoke from chimneys — /vs
distant mountain veiled in fog. /jt
Blazing fire —
children's gifts wrapped between
sips of cocoa /jt

The odor of hay and straw
Redemption is born

the choir sings clad in white
and red
