Christmas Eve
"Christmas Eve" is a short poem in which a speaker sits alone by a glowing fire on a stormy winter's night, his cat dozing on the hearth and an armchair beckoning. As drowsiness takes hold, he slips into a vision of the shepherds on the plain, the sudden blaze of angelic light, and the first glorious chorus of "Glory to God." The moment he longs to follow the shepherds down the shining path, the dream dissolves — leaving him awake, the storm stilled, and an unexpected inner peace.
