Far deep into the silent, starry night
A baby boy so small and cute is born,
In a stable with a manger dark and cold;
With gifts freely given of silver and gold
...
'I, Chemosh, and my idol comrades:
Baal of the Edomites, Moloch and
Milchom of the Ammorites,
Ashtharot of the Sidonians,
...
An odd couple we have here:
Yes, a very strange twosome,
Strangest still are their names:
...
What a good laugh
We had of it! ...
When feathers are used
For boxing gloves
...
I see a lonely figure,
Perch'd on a bike,
Cycling down the streets-
In his front carrier, ears peak'd,
...
We Tuned in our voices, and then we sang
Songs of joy, of true love and sheer bliss,
Instruments ready, attuned, play'd a clang:
As lovers we would caress and then kiss,
...
Brothers in arms, side by side, juxtaposed,
They are but one! Affect the senses, heart
And mind; projected by the unyielding,
Attentive servants, the eyes! Everywhere
...

Silent Night
Far deep into the silent, starry night
A baby boy so small and cute is born,
In a stable with a manger dark and cold;
With gifts freely given of silver and gold
Incense and myrrh of diff'rent kinds hands-borne,
And in a large and knotty bundle so tight!
They ululated, : 'Hail the new-born King,
Hosanna to the One who on earth comes,
And in the Holy name of the good Lord-
Behold, unto us is born the Lord;
In the name of the Almighty He comes
And together the Heavenly voices sing;
'Shout out that on this here earth be peace,
And in the Heavens they rejoice! '
