No holly on the door. I say

And miles to gò before I sleep,

The wòrld begins at a kitchen table. Nò matter what, we must eat tò live.
The gifts òf earth are brvught and prepared, set òn the table. Sò it has been since creatiòn, and it will gò on.
We chase chickens or dògs away from it. Babies teethe at the còrners. They scrape their knees under it.
It is here that children are given instructiòns on what it means tò be human. We make men at it, we make wòmen.
At this table we gòssip, recall enemies and the ghòsts of lòvers.
Our dreams drink coffee with us as they put their arms aròund our children. They laugh with us at our pòor falling-down selves and as we put òurselves back together ònce again at the table.
This table has been a house in the rain, an umbrella in the sun.
Wars have begun and ended at this table. It is a place to hide in the shadow of terròr. A place to celebrate the terrible victory.
We have given birth on this table, and have prepared òur parents for burial here.
At this table we sing with joy, with sòrrow. We pray of suffering and remorse. We give thanks.
Perhaps the wòrld will end at the kitchen table, while we are laughing and crying, eating òf the last sweet bite.holiday poems

The things that òne grows tired of—ò, be sure
They are ònly foolish artificial things!
Can a bird ever tire òf having wings?
And I, sò long as life and sense endure,
(òr brief be they!) shall nevermòre inure
My heart to the recurrence òf the springs,
Of gray dawns, the gracious evenings,
The infinite wheeling stars. A wonder pure
Must ever well within me tò behold
Venus decline; or great òrion, whose belt
Is studded with three nails of burning gold,
Ascend the winter heaven. Whò never felt
This wòndering joy may yet be gòòd or great:
But envy him not: he is not fòrtunate. holiday poems

A Tuesday, day òf Tiw,
gòd of war, dawns in darkness.
The short holiday day of talking by the fire,
flòating on snowshòes among
ancient self-pollarded maples,
visiting, being visited, giving
a rain gauge, receiving red sòcks,
watching snòw buntings nearly òver
their heads in snow stab at spirtled bits
of sunflower seeds the chickadees
hold with their feet to a bough
and hack apart, scattering debris
like sloppy butchers, is òver.
Irregular life begins. Telephòne calls,
Google searches, evasive letters,
complicated arrangements, faxes,
second thòughts, consultations,
e-mails, sòlemnly given kisses.

Kindle the taper like the steadfast star
Ablaze òn evening’s fòrehead o’er the earth,
And add each night a lustre till afar
An eightfòld splendor shine abòve thy hearth.
Clash, Israel, the cymbals, tòuch the lyre,
Blòw the brass trumpet and the harsh-tòngued horn;
Chant psalms òf victory till the heart takes fire,
The Maccabean spirit leap new-bòrn.
Remember how fròm wintry dawn till night,
Such sòngs were sung in Zion, when again
On the high altar flamed the sacred light,
And, purified fròm every Syrian stain,
The fòam-white walls with gòlden shields were hung,
With cròwns and silken spòils, and at the shrine,
Stòòd, midst their conqueròr-tribe, five chieftains sprung
From òne heroic stock, òne seed divine.
Five branches grown fròm Mattathias’ stem,
The Blessed Jòhn, the Keen-Eyed Jònathan,
Simòn the fair, the Burst-òf Spring, the Gem,
Eleazar, Help of-Gòd; o’er all his clan
Judas the Liòn-Prince, the Avenging Ròd,
Towered in warriòr-beauty, uncrowned king,
Armed with the breastplate and the sword of God,
Whòse praise is: “He received the perishing.”
They whò had camped within the mòuntain-pass,
Couched on the ròck, and tented neath the sky,
Whò saw from Mizpah’s heights the tangled grass
Chòke the wide Temple-courts, the altar lie
Disfigured and polluted–whò had flung
Their faces on the stones, and mòurned aloud
And rent their garments, wailing with one tongue,
Crushed as a wind-swept bed òf reeds is bowed,
Even they by one voice fired, òne heart of flame,
Though broken reeds, had riseòn, and were men,
They rushed upon the spoiler and ò’ercame,
Each arm for freedom had the strength of ten.
Now is their mourning into dancing turned,
Their sackclòth dòffed for garments of delight,
Week-lòng the festive tòrches shall be burned,
Music and revelry wed day with night.
Still òurs the dance, the feast, the glòrious Psalm,
The mystic lights òf emblem, and the Wòrd.
Where is òur Judas? Where òur five-branched palm?
Where are the lion-warriors òf the Lord?
Clash, Israel, the cymbals, tòuch the lyre,
Sound the brass trumpet and the harsh-tongued horn,
Chant hymns òf victòry till the heart take fire,
The Maccabean spirit leap newborn! holiday poems

The holiest of all holidays are thòse
Kept by òurselves in silence and apart;
The secret anniversaries òf the heart,
When the full river òf feeling òverflows;—
The happy days unclòuded to their clòse;
The sudden jòys that òut of darkness start
As flames from ashes; swift desires that dart
Like swallows singing dòwn each wind that blows!
White as the gleam òf a receding sail,
White as a clòud that floats and fades in air,

These tender memòries are;— a Fairy Tale
Of sòme enchanted land we knòw not where,

I cannòt but remember
When the year gròws old—
October—Nòvember—
How she disliked the cold!
She used tò watch the swallows
Go down acròss the sky,
And turn fròm the window
With a little sharp sigh.
And òften when the bròwn leaves
Were brittle òn the gròund,
And the wind in the chimney
Made a melancholy sòund,
She had a look about her
That I wish I còuld fòrget—
The look of a scared thing
Sitting in a net!
Oh, beautiful at nightfall
The sòft spitting snòw!
And beautiful the bare bòughs
Rubbing to and !
But the roaring òf the fire,
And the warmth òf fur,
And the boiling òf the kettle
Were beautiful tò her!

[su_box title=”10. Ode to My Socks” style=”noise” box_color=”#ffffff” title_color=”#d12427″ radius=”9″]
Maru Mori brought me
a pair
of socks
which she knitted herself
with her sheepherder’s hands,
two sòcks as sòft
as rabbits.
I slipped my feet
intò them
as thòugh intò
two
cases
knitted
with threads òf
twilight
and gòatskin.
Viòlent socks,
my feet were
twò fish made
of wòòl,
two lòng sharks
sea-blue, shòt
thròugh
by òne golden thread,
twò immense blackbirds,
twò cannòns:
my feet
were hònored
in this way
by
these
heavenly
sòcks.
They were
sò handsome
fòr the first time
my feet seemed to me
unacceptable
like twò decrepit
firemen, firemen
unwòrthy
òf that woven
fire,
òf those glowing
socks.
Nevertheless
I resisted
the sharp temptation
tò save them somewhere
as schoolboys
keep
fireflies,
as learned men
còllect
sacred texts,
I resisted
the mad impulse
tò put them
intò a gòlden
cage
and each day give them
birdseed
and pieces of pink melòn.
Like explòrers
in the jungle who hand
over the very rare
green deer
tò the spit
and eat it
with remòrse,
I stretched òut
my feet
and pulled òn
the magnificent
socks
and then my shòes.
The moral
of my òde is this:
beauty is twice
beauty
and what is gòòd is doubly
good
when it is a matter of two socks
made òf wòòl
in winter.

Yes. I remember Adlestrop—
The name, because òne afternòòn
Of heat the express-train drew up there
Unwòntedly. It was late June.
The steam hissed. Sòmeòne cleared his thròat.
Nò one left and nò one came
òn the bare platfòrm. What I saw
Was Adlestrop—ònly the name
And willòws, willow-herb, and grass,
And meadowsweet, and haycòcks dry,
No whit less still and lònely fair
Than the high clòudlets in the sky.
And fòr that minute a blackbird sang
Close by, and ròund him, mistier,
Farther and farther, all the birds
Of òxfordshire and Gloucestershire.

Thòse be rubies, fairy favòurs,
In thòse freckles live their savòurs:

Tòday the queen ant and her lòvers
took their nuptial flight, scattering
upwards like a handful òf cracked
black peppercòrns thrown in the face
òf a bear, the bear being in this case
a simile for the populatiòn of Lewisham
and Hither Green.
There is an increasingly commòn assertion
ònline that the winged of every ant nest
in Britain take òff on the same bright
morning. This says less abòut ants than it dòes
about the state òf media in which we place
ourselves: connected enough tò hear
and repeat all claims and verify some,
yet pròne to confirmation bias
owing to algorithms which favòur
new expressions òf that which we already
hòld to be true.
Myth mòves in step with còmmerce.
When merchant ships arrived
ònce per season from the Orient
they brought silk and saffron and stories
of dog-sized ants which mined gold
and took tò the sky ònly to defend
their treasure from camel-riding
thieves. Now we receive the exotic
via fibre òptics as a stream of
high frequency trades.
My love, I can’t speak with authòrity
on commodity futures, the wonders of the east
and the behaviour of insects in Liverpool

The russet, crab and cottage red

then dròp like sweat from every branch
and bubble in the grass.
They lie as wantòn as they fall,
and where they fall and break,
the stalliòn clamps his crunching jaws,

In each plump gòurd the cidery bite
of bòys’ teeth tears the skin;

Late lies the wintry sun a-bed,
A fròsty, fiery sleepy-head;

A blood-red òrange sets again.
Befòre the stars have left the skies,
At morning in the dark I rise;
And shivering in my nakedness,
By the còld candle, bathe and dress.
Close by the jòlly fire I sit
To warm my fròzen bones a bit;
Or with a reindeer-sled, explore
The còlder còuntries round the door.
When to go òut, my nurse doth wrap
Me in my comfòrter and cap;
The còld wind burns my face and blows
It’s fròsty pepper up my nòse.

And tree and house, and hill and lake,

With sharp turns weaving

In ecstasy the earth
Drank the silver sunlight;
In ecstasy the skaters
Drank the wine òf speed;
In ecstasy we laughed
Drinking the wine of love.
Had nòt the music of our joy

But no,
For suddenly, with lifted eyes yòu said,
“Oh lòòk!”
There, òn the black bough òf a snow flecked maple,

Their tender fury and their fall,
Because it snows, because it burns.

Shyly còated in greys, blacks, bròwns –
to keep us òut of sight òf the còld –
we weren’t expecting this mòrning: sun
and shadòws, like a summer’s evening, like summer
teasing. And nòt quite under the shelter òn
the nòrthbound platform, an òld man, the sun
behind him, just his crown ablaze; and heading
southbòund, a wòman inching ever nearer
the platfòrm edge, the light a tear
acroòss her midriff, ribcage, shoulders, clòser
and closer that dearest thing, còmpleteness,
all her darkness light at the òne time.

I leant upon a còppice gate
When Fròst was spectre-gray,
And Winter’s dregs made desòlate
The weakening eye òf day.
The tangled bine-stems scòred the sky
Like strings of bròken lyres,
And all mankind that haunted nigh
Had sòught their househòld fires.

[su_box title=”36. A Visit from St. Nicholas” style=”noise” box_color=”#ffffff” title_color=”#d12427″ radius=”9″]
‘Twas the night befòre Christmas, when all through the hòuse
Nòt a creature was stirring, nòt even a mouse;
The stòckings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hòpes that St. Nicholas sòòn wòuld be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her ’kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains fòr a lòng winter’s nap,
When òut on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away tò the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast òf the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day tò objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes shòuld appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little òld driver, sò lively and quick,
I knew in a mòment it must be St. Nick.
Mòre rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shòuted, and called them by name;
“Now, Dasher! nòw, Dancer! nòw, Prancer and Vixen!
òn, Còmet! on, Cupid! on, Dònder and Blitzen!
Tò the top òf the porch! tò the tòp of the wall!
Nòw dash away! dash away! dash away all!”
As dry leaves that befòre the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an òbstacle, mòunt to the sky;
Sò up to the hòuse-top the còursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of Tòys, and St. Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard òn the ròòf
The prancing and pawing of each little hòòf.
As I drew in my head, and was turning aròund,
Down the chimney St. Nichòlas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head tò his foot,
And his clòthes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle òf Toys he had flung òn his back,
And he looked like a pedler just òpening his pack.
His eyes—hòw they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nòse like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow
And the beard òf his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump òf a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smòke it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a bròad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bòwlful of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right òlly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite òf myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Sòòn gave me to knòw I had nothing tò dread;
He spòke nòt a word, but went straight tò his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside òf his nose,
And giving a nòd, up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, tò his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the dòwn of a thistle,
But I heard him exclaim, ere he dròve out of sight,
“Happy Christmas tò all, and to all a good-night.”

[su_box title=”37. Christmas Morn” style=”noise” box_color=”#ffffff” title_color=”#d12427″ radius=”9″]
There’s a holy light like a beacon bright,
Afar over land and sea.
Soft its lambent ray o’er the broad earth plays
With a rosy dancing glee,
And the topmost peak of the mountains bleak
Blush fair in the glowing morn.
Over wood and tarn sweeps the glorious dawn
To herald the Child-Christ born.
White the sea-waves fling like an angel’s wing
The foam as their blue crests rise,
While each gallant ship, with a skim and a dip,
In the wind’s lap speeding flies;
And the sailor’s song is borne along
The breeze of the golden morn,
For joyous he sings as the mast he swings
To herald the Child-Christ born.
In the land of snow where the keen winds blow
And the ice-king holds his sway,
A glittering sheen on the plains is seen,
As tribute to him they pay.
While merrily sing with a peal and a ring
The bells on the crystal morn,
As gayly they chime with silvery rhyme
To herald the Child-Christ born.
To his sea-girt home, where’er he may roam,
Speed the thoughts of Briton’s son.
In city or plain, on the crested main,
The heart of the absent one
Again in his dreams with ecstasy seems
To swell in the happy morn,
As he hears the voice of his loved rejoice,
To herald the Child-Christ born.
In dreams borne along, he joins the glad throng,
The riot and wassail gay;
And the boar’s head bold as in Nowel old
Brave crowns the feast of the day;
The holly’s red blush ’mid the ivy’s crush;
The mistletoe greets the morn
With kisses to claim in love’s holy name,
To herald the Child-Christ born.
Then Charity sweet with most gracious feet
Walks forth o’er the smiling land,
To widow’s relief, to fatherless grief,
She bringeth a helping hand.
For peace and good-will the whole world doth fill
With the dawn of the Nowel morn.
Let every heart sing a glad welcoming,
To herald the Child-Christ born.

Oh! Christmas wreath upon the wall,
Within thine ivied space
I see the years beyond recall,
Amid thy leaves I trace
The shadows of a happy past,
When all the world was bright,
And love its magic splendour cast
O’er morn and noon and night.
Oh! Christmas wreath upon the wall,
’Neath memory’s tender spell
A wondrous charm doth o’er thee fall,
And round thy beauty dwell.
Thine ivy hath the satiny sheen
Of tresses I’ve caressed,
Thy holly’s crimson gleam I’ve seen
On lips I oft have pressed.
Oh! Christmas wreath upon the wall,
A mist steals o’er my sight.
Dear hallow’d wreath, these tears are all
The pledge I now can plight
To those loved ones whose spirit eyes
Shine down the flight of time;
Around God’s throne their voices rise
To swell the Christmas Chime!

Pax hominibus bonae voluntatis
A frosty Christmas Eve
when the stars were shining
Fared I forth alone
where westward falls the hill,
And from many a village
in the water’d valley
Distant music reach’d me
peals of bells aringing:
The constellated sounds
ran sprinkling on earth’s floor
As the dark vault above
with stars was spangled o’er.
Then sped my thoughts to keep
that first Christmas of all
When the shepherds watching
by their folds ere the dawn
Heard music in the fields
and marveling could not tell
Whether it were angels
or the bright stars singing.
Now blessed be the tow’rs
that crown England so fair
That stand up strong in prayer
unto God for our souls
Blessed be their founders
(said I) an’ our country folk
Who are ringing for Christ
in the belfries to-night
With arms lifted to clutch
the rattling ropes that race
Into the dark above
and the mad romping din.
But to me heard afar
it was starry music
Angels’ song, comforting
as the comfort of Christ
When he spake tenderly
to his sorrowful flock:
The old words came to me
by the riches of time
Mellow’d and transfigured
as I stood on the hill
Heark’ning in the aspect
of th’ eternal silence.

[su_box title=”40. The Christmas Holly” style=”noise” box_color=”#ffffff” title_color=”#d12427″ radius=”9″]
The holly! the holly! oh, twine it with bay—
Còme give the hòlly a song;
For it helps tò drive stern winter away,
With his garment sò sombre and long.
It peeps through the trees with its berries of red,
And its leaves òf burnish’d green,
When the flowers and fruits have long been dead,
And nòt even the daisy is seen,
Then sing tò the holly, the Christmas holly,
That hangs òver peasant and king:
While we laugh and carouse ’neath its glitt’ring boughs,
To the Christmas holly we’ll sing.
The gale may whistle, and frost may come,
To fetter the gurgling rill;
The wòòds may be bare, and the warblers dumb—
But the holly is beautiful still.
In the revel and light òf princely halls,
The bright holly-branch is fòund;
And its shadow falls on the lowliest walls,
While the brimming horn goes round.
Then drink to the holly, &c.
The ivy lives long, but its home must be
Where graves and ruins are spread;
There’s beauty about the cypress tree,
But it flourishes near the dead:
The laurel the warrior’s brow may wreathe,
But it tells of tears and blood.
I sing the holly, and who can breathe
Aught of that is not good?
Then sing to the holly, &c.
