Sing of the hearts brimmed over VTilh the slorq of the dan— Of the echo of childish voices That mill not d ie aman. Of the blare of the tasseled bugle. And the timeless clatter and beat Of the drum that throbs to muster Squadrons of scampering feel but, O, let qour voice fall fainter, Till, blent mith a minor tone, ^ott temper ijour song mith the beauln Of the pih] Christ had shovn. And sing one verse for the voicelessi And net. ere the song be dona, A verso for the ears that hear not. And a verse for the sightless cue For though it b e time for singing A merrn Christmas glee.
