SHEAVES OF WHEAT.
Amidst the anow and ice of Norway's land, r When Christmas time approaches, with its ». cheer, With tender thought! of Him, the Chrnt child dear, The fair-haired, gentle maidens hang, with Under hand, Above their doors, bright sheaves of golden wheat, That all the little birds may como and eat To the rich feast they flock, then fold each fluttering wing Above the eottoge door, their thanks to •ing. Oh, friends in happy homes, thii Christmas time, ' While o'er their gifts your little ones rejoice, ■ Think of the ones who" hear no tender voice— • , , The homeless ones, on whom no joys will shine ; , And for their take hang out one sheaf of wheat. r Twill make your Christmas gladness all complete, ' . And, for tin loving care that you Have given Their songs of thanks will rise and enter Heaven. > >m <i . - -rAlice Denison.
