DECEMBER, by                    
First Line: How beautiful are god's great trees in spring
Last Line: That our december shall not be in vain.
Subject(s): December; Spring


How beautiful are God's great trees in spring
With fragrant crowns and lacy scarves of green.
Today no Maytime loveliness is seen;
And autumn's golden leaves no longer cling
To arms, outstretched toward Heaven's dome of blue,
Nearer because of beauty shed about;
Beauty that had survived without a doubt;
The chilling winds in winter's retinue.

Our Springtime beautiful with hope alive
Will find that life is sunshine blent with rain.
From storm and stinging frost it shall survive;
So may we tower above the clouds of doubt,
And scatter so much beauty all about
That our December shall not be in vain.
