Mrs. Bird thought, as the Christmas music floated in upon her
gentle sleep, that she had slipped into heaven with her new baby,
and that angels were bidding them welcome. But the tiny bundle by
her side stirred a little, though it was scarcely more than the
ruffling of a feather; and she awoke, drew the baby closer, and
listened to the voices outside brimming with joy:
"Carol, brothers, carol,
Carol joyfully,
Carol the good tidings,
Carol merrily "
"Why, my baby," whispered Mrs. Bird in soft surprise, "I had
forgotten what day it was. You are a little Christmas child, and we
will name you 'Carol' -- mother's little Christmas Carol "
Kate Douglas Wiggin (1856-1923), author of such works as
"Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, " "Penelope's English Experiences, "
and "A Village Stradivarius," was one of America's most popular
writers of books for young people.
