-:Adapted from ''Advent'' (''This Advent moon shines cold and clear''), by Christina Rossetti
-<poem>
-The Advent moon shines cold and clear;
-These Advent nights are very long.
-The Advent moon shines bright and clear;
-These Advent nights are very long;
-Our lamps have burned year after year,
-And still their flame is strong.
-‘Watchman, what of the night?’ we cry,
-Heartsick with hope deferred:
-‘No speaking signs are in the sky’,
-Is still the watchman’s word.
-One to another hear them speak,
-The patient virgins wise:
-Surely He is not far to seek,
-All night we watch and rise.
-The days are evil looking back,
-The coming days are dim,
-Yet count we not His promise slack,
-But watch and wait for Him.
-Weeping we hold him fast tonight,
-We will not let Him go
-Till daybreak smite our wearied sight,
-And summer smite the snow:
-Then figs shall bud, and dove with dove
-Shall coo the livelong day;
-Then He shall say ‘Arise, my love,
-My fair one, come away!’
-The Advent moon shines cold and clear.
-We watch and wait.
-</poem>
