This laurel, let this holly stand: We live within the stranger’s land, And strangely falls our Christmas-eve. Our
father’s dust is left alone
No
more shall wayward grief abuse
Let
cares that petty shadows cast,
But
let no footstep beat the floor,
Be
neither song, nor game, nor feast;
Of
rising worlds by yonder wood.
