But the cedars were too busy with their own fears to pay any heed to the faint pleadings of the humble vine and the little tree. BUT THE CEDARS WERE TOO BUSY WITH THEIR OWN FEARS TO PAY ANY HEED TO THE FAINT PLEADINGS OF THE HUMBLE VINE IN THE LITTLE TREE
rth. "What beautiful music!" cried the little tree. "I wonder whence it comes." "The angels are singing," said a cedar; "for none but angels could make such sweet music." "But the stars are singing, too," said another cedar; "yes, and the shepherds on the hills join in the song, and what a strangely glorious song it is!" The trees listened to the singing, but they did not understand its meaning: it seemed to be an anthem, and it was of a Child that had been born; but further than this they did not understand. The strange and glorious song continued all the night; and all that night the angels walked to and fro, and the shepherd-folk talked with the angels, and the stars danced and carolled in high heaven. And it was nearly morning when the cedars cried out, "They are coming to the forest! the angels are coming to the forest!" And, surely enough, this was true. The vine and the little tree were very terrified, and they begged their older and stronger neighbors to protect them from harm. OF THE SWEETEST HARMONIES EVER HEARD UPON EARTH WHAT BEAUTIFUL MUSIC CRIED THE LITTLE TREE I WONDER WHENCE IT COMES THE ANGELS ARE SINGING SAID A CEDAR FOR NONE BUT ANGELS COULD MAKE SUCH SWEET MUSIC BUT THE STARS ARE SINGING TOO SAID ANOTHER CEDAR YES AND THE SHEPHERDS ON THE HILLS JOIN IN THIS SONG AND WHAT A STRANGELY GLORIOUS SONG IT IS THE TREES LISTENED TO THE SINGING BUT THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND ITS MEANING IT SEEMED TO BE AN ANTHEM AND IT WAS OF A CHILD THAT HAD BEEN BORN BUT FURTHER THAN THIS THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE STRANGE AND GLORIOUS SONG CONTINUED ALL THE NIGHT AND ALL THAT NIGHT THE ANGELS WALKED TO AND FRO AND THE SHEPHERD FOLK TALKED WITH THE ANGELS AND THE STARS DANCED AND CAROLED IN HIGH HEAVEN AND IT WAS NEARLY MORNING WHEN THE CEDARS CRIED OUT THEY ARE COMING TO THE FOREST THE ANGELS ARE COMING TO THE FOREST AND SURELY ENOUGH THIS WAS TRUE THE VINE AND THE LITTLE TREE WERE VERY TERRIFIED AND THEY BEGGED THEIR OLDER AND STRONGER NEIGHBORS TO PROTECT THEM FROM HARM
