A Song For Christmas
"A Song For Christmas" by George MacDonald sets death and renewal against each other in six tightly wound stanzas, where bells toll for the buried and larks sing for second birth. The speaker refuses to sit mired in grief, choosing instead to watch for the dawning — and for the faces of loved ones lost, imagined tenderer and shining in whatever lies beyond. It is a poem of raw longing held in tension with stubborn, luminous hope, written in a voice that trembles but does not break.
