Christmas Eve, King's College
The lifeless ashes, the hush of winter,
The death of the dreams of the spirit,
Of exhilarating love, the watching of the dying
Deferred by the candle glow in the chapel
On this Christmas Eve, by the chorister's
Soaring "Once in Royal David's city..."
Swelled now by the choir's resounding
"He came down to Earth from Heaven...".
Meaning shaped by death, as all meaning is.
