Here | RedState: Longfellow, his wife dead and thinking his son dying, concluded his poem that Christmas Day 149 years ago thusly:
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
“God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men.”
As you head out today for the Christmas holiday, we here at RedState would like to wish you a blessed and merry Christmas. May we all have peace on earth and goodwill to men.
