And all the other trees and the vines and the ferns and the mosses beheld in wonder; nor could they understand why all these things were being done, and why this exceeding honor should be shown the little tree. AND ALL THE OTHER TREES AND THE VINES AND THE FERNS AND THE MOSSES BEHELD IN WONDER NOR COULD THEY UNDERSTAND WHY ALL THESE THINGS WERE BEING DONE AND WHY THE SUCCEEDING HONOR SHOULD BE SHOWN THE LITTLE TREE
ed to the faint pleadings of the humble vine and the little tree. The angels came into the forest, singing the same glorious anthem about the Child, and the stars sang in chorus with them, until every part of the woods rang with echoes of that wondrous song. There was nothing in the appearance of this angel host to inspire fear; they were clad all in white, and there were crowns upon their fair heads, and golden harps in their hands; love, hope, charity, compassion, and joy beamed from their beautiful faces, and their presence seemed to fill the forest with a divine peace. The angels came through the forest to where the little tree stood, and gathering around it, they touched it with their hands, and kissed its little branches, and sang even more sweetly than before. And their song was about the Child, the Child, the Child that had been born. Then the stars came down from the skies and danced and hung upon the branches of the tree, and they, too, sang that song,--the song of the Child. WITH THEIR OWN FEARS TO PAY ANY HEED TO THE FAINT PLEADINGS OF THE HUMBLE VINE IN THE LITTLE TREE THE ANGELS CAME INTO THE FOREST SINGING THE SAME GLORIOUS ANTHEM ABOUT THE CHILD AND THE STARS SANG IN CHORUS WITH THEM UNTIL EVERY PART OF THE WOODS RANG WITH ECHOES OF THAT WONDROUS SONG THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE APPEARANCE OF THIS ANGEL HOST TO INSPIRE FEAR THEY WERE CLAD ALL IN WHITE AND THERE WERE CROWNS UPON THEIR FAIR HEADS AND GOLDEN HARPS IN THEIR HANDS LOVE HOPE CHARITY COMPASSION AND JOY BEAMED FROM THEIR BEAUTIFUL FACES AND THEIR PRESENT SEEMED TO FILL THE FOREST WITH A DIVINE PEACE THE ANGELS CAME THROUGH THE FOREST TO WHERE THE LITTLE TREE STOOD IN GATHERING AROUND IT THEY TOUCHED IT WITH THEIR HANDS IT KISSED ITS LITTLE BRANCHES AND SANG EVEN MORE SWEETLY THAN BEFORE AND THEIR SONG WAS ABOUT THE CHILD THE CHILD THE CHILD WHO HAD BEEN BORN THEN THE STARS CAME DOWN FROM THE SKIES AND DANCED AND HUNG UPON THE BRANCHES OF THE TREE AND THEY TOO SANG THAT SONG THE SONG OF THE CHILD
