TH E DAILY NEWS. WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 25, 1867. HYJIS OF THE NATIVITY. SZ JOHN KILTO*, A. D. 1639. This is tho month, and this thc hippy i .u. VYher in the Son of Healan ] eternal uing. Of wedded Maid aad Virgin Mother born. Our g.ea: re.lempdon irom above did bring; For KO til - holy eases once did sing. That ho our ik-adK forfeit shou.d release. And with his Father work us a perpetual peace. ?hst clor! ms form, that fight unsufferable, And that ia .scaming blaze ol majesty, Wherewith he wont at HoaVn's high oouncil-Uble To sit the aildst of Trinal Potty, He lid ?side; and hero with us to be, Forsook the e m. ts of everlasting day. And chose with us a darksome boute of mortal clay. Say heav'nly Muse, ehalt not thy sacred vein A'ford * prese.it to tho lula at God ? H nit thou n > verse, no hymn, or solemn stialn, To welcome him to ibis his new abode, yow while the Ucav'n b . the sun's team untrod, Hath to 'k no print o. the approaching light, And ail thc spangled host keep watch in squadrons bright? See how from far upon tho eastern road The star-led wizards haste with odors sweet: O ru.:, prevent die n with thy numble ode. Anl lay it lowly at his blessoa feet: Have thou the honor first, thy lord to greet. And j on .hy voice uuto tho Angel quire, From out his scoret altar touch'u wiui hallow'd fire. TUX HTSIX. It was the winter wild, Wm e thc i.eav'n-born child Ali iKtanly ?rapt ia the rude mauger lies; Natu: J in uwe to him Had dont h-r gawdy trim. With uer great Master so to sympathize: It was no season tuen tor her lo wanton with the sua her lusty paramour. Only with specche3 fair Sho woe's tho gentle air To hide her guilt > fi out with innocent snow. And on uer naked shame Pollute with sinful blame. Tho saintly veil of ma den white to throw, Confounded, that her Maker's eye i Should look so near upon 'JOT foul deformities. But he her fears io cease, bent dowu the meek-ey d Peaco ; She, crewn'd .ith ouvo greet:, came solUy sliding Bown t ..rough tho turning itpbero His ready harbinger. With tarue wing the amorous clouds dividing, And waving wid - her myrtle wand, She sa Utos au unmrsal peaco through sea and land. No war, or battcl's sound WM hoaid tho world around: Ibo idle spear sud shield were high up hung. The hooked chariot stood, UuSUin'd Wi u hes lie blood, in.- trumpet rpoke mi to the armed throng, And kings (ut sail with awful eye, 'As if me., surely knew their sovran Lord was by. But peaceful was the night. Wherein the arinco o. light His reign ot peace upen me earth began: Thew.nds with wonder whist Smootulv uio waters cist, Wuispenn ne ... joys to the mild ocean, Who now LU.: a quite io: got to rave. While hi. do oi cairn sit brooding on the charmed wave. The stars with deep amaze Stand flx'd lu st adta-t gaze, Beuuing on* way their precious influence. And will not take their flight. For all tue morning light. ur Laciter that otteii waro'd them thence; But ia their glimmering o. bs did glow, Until iud. Lo.d tuznseU beepake and bid them go. And tho gb the thady gloom Had g v.n day htr room, Xhe sen nimseli withae'.d his wonted speed. And nid hi) beau fur ?horno. As his inferi? flame lue new i_hgLten'd w rid no more should need; He saw a greater sun appear Ihjnnis bright three, or burning axletree, oould bear Thc shepherds on the lawn, Or e'er toe pom. of dawn, b.t nra. ly chattiug i e rustic row; Full lit.l ?nought they then, a hat tao u.igbiy Pan W.t. kind.y come to live with them below; Per h. pe their loves, or else then* sheep, Vi sa *0i mat d-d ueu* eily though.s so busy keep. When s ..ch music sweet lb. i heart and ears did greet, As never wa? by mortal Unger stxook, Div.u-iy-warb ed voice Answering mo st.inged noise, As ah meir s ulsiu bhsstul rapture took: The a-r, su.-h pie .sure lo'h to lose, With thousand ech.es sob prolongs each heav'nly close Nature that heard such sound. Beneath ihe hohow lound O: Cynthia's ?eat, the aery region thrilling, Kow was almost won To think her part w<u done. And that her reigu had here its last frurilling; She knew such harmony alone Could hold all Heav'n and Earth in happier union. At last surrounds their sight A globe of circular light, That with long yearns the shame-fae'd night array'd; The helmed cherubim. And sw ortie . terathim, Ale seen In fci.ttermg ranks with wings display'd. Harping in loud and sol. mn quire. Witt un expressive notes to Heaven's new-bom Heir. Such music (as 'tis said) Before was never made. But wuen of old the sons of morning sung, While tao Creator great His constella iona set, And the weU-balanced world on hinges hung, And cast the dark louncattons deep, And bid the weltering waves their oozy channel keenjr^ Bing out yo crystal spr.orea, ^t^^^ Once bless our human oars, (If yo nave power to touch oj?^gCJlie3 goj And let your silver chi'ue Move In melodious timc^* And let tho base of Haven's deep organ blow, And with your i-me^id harmony Mane up luJl caaj-jSri to th' ?nge?io symphony.

Thc babe li?e yet in smiling infaney, That on the bitter cross Must redeem our loss; so both him eli and us to glorify: Yet first to those ychain'd in sleep, The wakeful trump ot doom must thunder through the deep. With such a horrid clang AS o mount Sinai rang. While the red fire and smouldering clouds ou tb rake: The aged earth aghast, With terror of that blast, Shall from the surface to the centre shake; When at the world's last session. The dreadinl Judge in mid<Ue air shall spread hi s throne And then at last our bliss Full and perfect is. Bat no* begins; for from this happy day Th' old Dragon under ground. In straiter hm-ts bound, Not halt so far casts his usurped sway. And wroth to ace his kingdom uil, bwladgee tho scaly horror of hie folded tad. The oracles are dumb. No voice or hideous bum Runs through the arched roof ia words deceiving. Apollo from his shrine Can no more divine, With hohow shriek tho steep of Delnbos i cavia y.

A voice ol weeping heard and loud lament; From haunted spring and d Jo Edg'd wiib i op.ar pale, Toe parting Genius is with sighing sent; With flowe: in wo ven tresses torn The Nymphs in twilight shade of tangled thickets mourn. In const crated earth. And on the holy hearth, The Lara and L?mures moan with midnight plaint; In U ns, and altars round, A drear ona dying sound Affrights the tiamens at their service quaint; And the chill marule seems to sweat. While each peculiar Power forgoes his wonted seat. Peor and Ba a'un Forsako the', temples dim. With tba. t * iee battor'd God of Palestine; And mooned Ashiaroth, Beav'u's queen and mother both, Now sits not girt w.th tapers' holy shina; Thc Libye Hammon shrinks his horn. In vain tho Tynon maida thoir wounded Thsmmuz mourn. And sullen Moloch fled. Hath left in shadows dread His burning idol all cf blackest hue; In vain wi h cymbals* ring Ihey caii the grisly king, Ba dismal dance about the furnace blue; The bruta.-h Goes of Nile as last, Isis and Onie, and thc dog Anubis, haste. Norla O six is seen In Merni hian grove or greeu. Trampling tho uashowe'-'d grass with lowings loud: Nor can he be at rest Within his sacred chest, Nought but profoundest Hell can be his shroud; In v. h. with timbrel'd anthems dark The sable-stoled sorcerers bear his worship? ark. He feels from Juda'slsnd The dreaded Infant's hand. The rays of Bethlehem blind his duaky oyu; Nor al the Gods beside Longer dare abide. Not Typhon ho j? ending in snaky twine : Our babe, to show his Godhead true. Can in his swadling-bands controll tho damned crew. So when the sun m bed, Curtain'd with cloudy red, Pillows bis chin upon an orient wave, The flocking shadows pale Troop to the internal jail, Each fetter'd ghost slips to hie several grave, And the yefiow-sltirttd Fayee Yly after tho night-steeds, leaving their moon-lov'd maze.
