Here are six of the very best holiday poems. 1. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, ‘ Holidays ’. This sonnet by the author of ‘The Song of Hiawatha’ reminds us of the etymology of the word ‘holiday’ as ‘holy day’. The ‘holiest’ of holidays are the ones we keep by ourselves, the ‘secret anniversaries of the heart’.

by Clement Clarke Moore ‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; And ma in her ‘ker...
by Christina Rossetti Christmas has a darkness Brighter than the blazing noon, Christmas has a chillness Warmer than the heat of June, Christmas has a beauty Lovelier than the world can show: For Christmas bringeth Jesus, Brought for us so low. Earth, strike up your music, Birds that sing and bells that ring; Heaven has answering music For all ange...
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old, familiar carols play, __And wild and sweet __The words repeat Of peace on earth, good-will to men! And thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom __Had rolled along __The unbroken song Of peace on earth, good-will to men! Till ringing, singing on its ...
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Out of the bosom of the Air, __Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken, Over the woodlands brown and bare, __Over the harvest-fields forsaken, ____Silent, and soft, and slow ____Descends the snow. Even as our cloudy fancies take __Suddenly shape in some divine expression, Even as the troubled heart doth make __In...

While the stars that oversprinkle All the heavens, seem to twinkle With a crystalline delight; Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme, To the tintinnabulation that ...
by John Milton XIII Ring out, ye crystal spheres! Once bless our human ears, If ye have power to touch our senses so; And let your silver chime Move in melodious time; And let the bass of heaven’s deep organ blow; And with your ninefold harmony Make up full consort of the angelic symphony. XIV For, if such holy song Enwrap our fancy long, Time will...

The work of veteran newsman Francis Pharcellus Church has since become history’s most reprinted newspaper editorial, appearing in part or whole in dozens of languages in books, movies, and othe...
