The whole Poem deserves to be set in its entirety since the full story can be told and Herrick's feelings come out all the more.

UA Fanthorpe, who died in 2009,
was originally published by Peterloo Poets,
who kindly gave me permission to
reproduce her Poem.
The copyright has now been transferred to Enitharmon quoting "U A Fanthorpe New and Collected Poems, Enitharmon 2010"
who have also kindly given permission.
It is an unusual and quite modern view
of the Christmas story

Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
English Text
Christ's love has gathered us into one.
Let us rejoice and be pleased in Him.
Let us fear, and let us love the living God.
And may we love each other with an open heart.
As we are gathered into one body,
Beware, lest we be divided in mind.
Let evil actions stop, let war and conflict cease,
And may Christ our God be in our midst.
Where charity and love are, God is there.
And may we with the saints also,
See Thy face in glory, O Christ our Lord:
The joy that is immense and good,

Poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950)
Performed by Choir Matrix Women's Ensemble
Poem:
She is neither pink nor pale,
And she never will be all mine;
She learned her hands in a fairy-tale,
And her mouth on a valentine.
She has more hair than she needs;
in the sun 'tis a woe to me!
And her voice is a string of colored beads,
Or steps leading into the sea.
She loves me all that she can,
And her ways to my ways resign;
But she was not made for any man,
And she never will be all mine.
