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. —A.
