About This Book

A devotional poem takes the form of a direct prayer asking the Lord to bless the speaker's friends during the yuletide, invoking images of Yule-logs and gentler thoughts. Each stanza petitions divine compassion for those who weep, stray, grieve, or are distant, requesting guidance, comfort, and sympathy. The poem also urges the fortunate to bring joy to the sorrowful and to minister to need, and closes with a plea that divine love and peace warm all hearts and bind the community together.
