CANÇÃO DE NATAL - G.K.CHESTERTON

A CHRISTMAS CAROL

The Christ-child lay on Mary's lap,

His hair was like a light.

(O weary, weary were the world,

But here is all aright.)

The Christ-child lay on Mary's breast

His hair was like a star.

(O stern and cunning are the kings,

But here the true hearts are.)

The Christ-child lay on Mary's heart,
His hair was like a fire.

(O weary, weary is the world,
But here the world's desire.)

The Christ-child stood on Mary's knee,
His hair was like a crown,

And all the flowers looked up at Him,
And all the stars looked down.

G.K. Chesterton (Robert, Cyril - Mary Immaculate: God's Mother and Mine, 1946)
