Eidolon Ave The Second Feast

From church and chapel and dome and tower,

Near-far and everywhere,

The merry bells chime loud and clear

Upon the frosty air.

All down the marble avenues

The lamp-lit casements glow,

And from an hundred palaces

Glad carols float and flow.

A thousand lamps from street to street

Blaze on the dusky air,

And light the way for happy feet

To carol, praise and prayer.
