Put out the lights now!
Look at the Tree, the rough tree dazzled
In oriole plumes of flame,
Tinselled with twinkling frost fire, tasselled
With stars and moons

Additional quotes by Cecil Day-Lewis

Shall I be gone long? For ever and a day To whom there belong? Ask the stone to say Ask my song.

So feast your eyes now
On mimic star and moon-cold bauble:
Worlds may wither unseen,
But the Christmas Tree is a tree of fable,
A phoenix in evergreen

It's hard to believe a spirit could die
Of such generous glow
