O Christmas Tree ...

Once again the pine-tree sung:—

'Speak not thy speech my boughs among;

Put off thy years, wash in the breeze;

My hours are peaceful centuries...'

~Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Woodnotes, II"

Good morning!

Today we have new Sunday Song & Rhyme Challenge to play along with! You can find the challenge HERE

Our poem this fortnight was picked by Theresa Pace

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree

How lovely are thy branches

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree

How lovely are thy branches

Your boughs, so green in Summer-time

Stay bravely green in Winter-time

O Tannenbaum, O Christmas tree

How lovely are thy branches

Let us all remember in our gift giving and our merriment

With our family and friends and loved ones

The real and true meaning of Christmas

The birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum

How lovely are, are thy branches

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum

How lovely are, how lovely are thy branches

Their pillars all please faithfully

Our trust in God unchangedly

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum

How lo-lovely are thy branches

On Comet

On Cupid

On Donder and Blitzen

Our sponsor this fortnight is Fred she said and I am using a pre colored image called Pine Trees

My inspiration comes from the lines

Stay bravely green in Winter-time

O Tannenbaum, O Christmas tree

How lovely are thy branches
