-; ''Advent'' by Christina Georgina Rossetti
-<poem>
-This Advent moon shines cold and clear,
-  These Advent nights are long;
-Our lamps have burned year after year
-  And still their flame is strong.
-'Watchman, what of the night?' we cry,
-  Heart-sick with hope deferred:
-'No speaking signs are in the sky,'
-  Is still the watchman's word.
-The Porter watches at the gate,
-  The servants watch within;
-The watch is long betimes and late,
-  The prize is slow to win.
-'Watchman, what of the night?' But still
-  His answer sounds the same:
-'No daybreak tops the utmost hill,
-  Nor pale our lamps of flame.'
-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.'
-</poem>
