Everything was bright and sparkling and beautiful. And most beautiful was the great hymn of praise the forest sang that Christmas morning,  the pine trees and the firs and the vines and the snow flowers that sang of the prince and of his promised coming. EVERYTHING WAS BRIGHT AND SPARKLING AND BEAUTIFUL AND MOST BEAUTIFUL WAS THE GREAT HYMN OF PRAISE THE FOREST SANG THAT CHRISTMAS MORNING THE PINE TREES AND THE FIRS AND THE VINES AND THE SNOW FLOWERS THAT SANG OF THE PRINCE AND OF HIS PROMISED COMING
the snow fell upon Barbara and covered her like a white mantle. "You will be warm now," said the vine, kissing Barbara's forehead. And Barbara smiled. Then the snowdrop sang a lullaby about the moss that loved the violet. And Barbara said, "I am going to sleep; will you wake me when the prince comes through the forest?" And they said they would. So Barbara fell asleep. III "The bells in the city are ringing merrily," said the fir, "and the music in the cathedral is louder and more beautiful than before. Can it be that the prince has already come into the city?" "No," cried the pine-tree, "look to the east and see the Christmas day a-dawning! The prince is coming, and his pathway is through the forest!" The storm had ceased. Snow lay upon all the earth. The hills, the forest, the city, and the meadows were white with the robe the storm-king had thrown over them. Content with his wondrous work, the storm-king himself had fled to his far Northern home before the dawn of the Christmas day. OK DOWN THE SNOW FROM THEIR BROAD BOUGHS AND THE SNOW FELL UPON BARBARA AND COVERED HER LIKE A WHITE MANTLE YOU'LL BE WARM NOW SAID THE VINE KISSING BARBARA'S FOREHEAD AND BARBARA SMILED THEN THE SNOWDROP SANG A LULLABY ABOUT THE MOSS THAT LOVED THE VIOLET AND BARBARA SAID I AM GOING TO SLEEP WILL YOU WAKE ME WHEN THE PRINCE COMES THROUGH THE FOREST AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD SO BARBARA FELL ASLEEP THE BELLS IN THIS CITY ARE RINGING MERRILY SAID THE FIR AND THE MUSIC IN THE CATHEDRAL IS LOUDER AND MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN BEFORE CAN IT BE THAT THE PRINCE HAS ALREADY COME INTO THE CITY NO CRIED THE PINE TREE LOOK TO THE EAST AND SEE THE CHRISTMAS DAY A DAWNING THE PRINCE IS COMING AND HIS PATHWAY IS THROUGH THE FOREST THE STORM HAD CEASED SNOW LAY UPON ALL THE EARTH THE HILLS THE FOREST THE CITY AND THE MEADOWS WERE WHITE WITH THE ROBE THE STORM KING HAD THROWN OVER THEM CONTENT WITH HIS WONDROUS WORK THE STORM KING HIMSELF HAD FLED TO HIS FAR NORTHERN HOME BEFORE THE DAWN OF THE CHRISTMAS DAY
