The Sequoia’s Christmas Story
We were a virgin forest
On the California hills,
Hushed by the snows of winter
And the music of gushing rills;
And swayed by summer breezes
From ‘western seas afar,
We watched in the dusk of twilight
For the gleam of the evening star.
We were a strong young forest,
Under the arching sky,
Where shimmering snow peaks beckoned
And grey clouds drifted
We whispered a prayer i
For immortal life we
e moonlight,
aved,
In the patience of faith we waited
As the mystical ages passed,
And then a sign was given—
Our prayers had prevailed at last;
For a wandering ray of starlight,
On the night when Christ was born,
Came to the dim Sierras
And lingered till early morn.
It lay on our verdant branches
With a pure and holy sheen,
It silvered the heights above us
And the deep, dark vales between:
The winds of heaven whispered,
And under their fingers light,
With a sound as of many waters
We sang our hymn to the night.
And now as the aeons vanish,
We wait in eternal youth,
Clad in unfading verdure,
And this is the wonderful truth:
A wandering ray of starlight
On the night when Christ was born,
Lay on our perfumed branches
Till the coming of early dawn.
