<p>And so it was in front of this hotel<br />
Our angel did finally arrive<br />
And standing at one corner was a young man<br />
Who caught the angel&#8217;s eye</p>
<p>He had a small group of children<br />
Gathered round him there<br />
Who all were quietly listening<br />
Which for children is quite rare</p>
<p>He was telling them christmas tales<br />
And each one brought more children near<br />
Where they nestled round him on those steps<br />
So each word they could clearly hear</p>
<p>He then told them a christmas story<br />
About how all men are brothers<br />
And when that story had ended<br />
The children clamored for another</p>
<p>&#8220;where does christmas go<br />
When its day is through?<br />
Where does christmas go,&#8221; they asked,<br />
&#8220;and what does christmas do?&#8221;</p>
<p>Now children have such simple requests<br />
Their wishes are so small<br />
That the young man saw no reason why<br />
He could not grant them all</p>
<p>They liked his stories so much<br />
They begged him not to let it end<br />
So he told them about the wizards of winter<br />
Whose winter ball they must attend</p>
<p>How these wizards decorated their whole world<br />
With icicles, frost and snow<br />
And how with the dreams of this night beneath it<br />
It all would magically start to glow</p>
<p>And the snow seemed to obey the young man&#8217;s every gesture<br />
In the cold december&#8217;s air<br />
And as for the wizards&#8217; imperial ball<br />
Well, they were already there</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The poem that inspired that phrase was written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)  He wrote it on Christmas Day 1864, during the civil war.  His wife Fanny had died just two years earlier and his son Charles, a lieutenant in the 1st Massachusetts Cavalry, had been wounded  And yet, he wrote a beautiful and hopeful poem.  The stanzas were slightly rearranged in 1872 by John Baptiste Calkin (1827-1905) who also added the tune and gave us the carol  &#8220;I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day”.<br />
</p>
<p>Here are the original words to the poem.  You can hear them spoken in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKzMyP8ts14">this touching video.</a></p>
<p>
Christmas Bells<br />
</p>
<p>    I HEARD the bells on Christmas Day<br />
    Their old, familiar carols play,<br />
        And wild and sweet<br />
        The words repeat<br />
    Of peace on earth, good-will to men!<br />
</p>
<p>And thought how, as the day had come,<br />
    The belfries of all Christendom<br />
        Had rolled along<br />
        The unbroken song<br />
    Of peace on earth, good-will to men!<br />
</p>
<p>Till ringing, singing on its way,<br />
    The world revolved from night to day,<br />
        A voice, a chime,<br />
        A chant sublime<br />
    Of peace on earth, good-will to men!<br />
</p>
<p>Then from each black, accursed mouth<br />
    The cannon thundered in the South,<br />
        And with the sound<br />
        The carols drowned<br />
    Of peace on earth, good-will to men!<br />
</p>
<p>It was as if an earthquake rent<br />
    The hearth-stones of a continent,<br />
        And made forlorn<br />
        The households born<br />
    Of peace on earth, good-will to men!<br />
</p>
<p>And in despair I bowed my head;<br />
    &#8220;There is no peace on earth,&#8221; I said;<br />
        &#8220;For hate is strong,<br />
        And mocks the song<br />
    Of peace on earth, good-will to men!&#8221;</p>
<p>
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:<br />
    &#8220;God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;<br />
        The Wrong shall fail,<br />
        The Right prevail,<br />
    With peace on earth, good-will to men.&#8221; </p>
