To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Fadeless as Truth, sad as Humanity ; Let no bright flower, nor withered leaf be seen, These hours are sisters to Adversity.
The days are sad, it is the Holytide — The Winter morn is short, the Night is long.
So let the lifeless hours be glorified With deathless thoughts, and echoed in sweet song ; And thro' the sunset of this purple cup They will resume the roses of their prime. And the old Dead will hear us, and wake up, Pass with dim smiles, and make our hearts sublime !
86 THE HOLYTIDE The d...ays are sad, it is the Holytide — Be dusky mistletoes, and hollies strown, Sharp as the spear that pierced His sacred side, Red as the drops upon His thorny crown ; No haggard Passion, and no lawless Mirth Fright off the sombre Muse — tell sweet old tales. Sing songs, as we sit bending o'er the hearth, Till the lamp flickers, and the memory fails.
The days are sad, it is the Holytide — But ere we part this blessed night, to dreams Of Angel songs on the hush'd mountain- side, And wondrous Shapes that came upon the light.
