     ’Twas in the moon of winter time Within a lodge of broken bark ~~ The earliest moon ef winter time 
     
    

    
     When all the birds had fled, : The tender Babe was found , le not @ round and fair 
     
    

    
     That mighty Gitchi Manitou _ ‘& ragged robe of rabbit skin As was the ring of glory on

     could understand—speaking of Jesus as “The Great Spirit” and of the Wise Men as, - ‘ 
     
    

    
     “three chiefs”. It was written originally in the. Huron language, set to a French tune, and is widely . 
     
     | known today through the English interpretation written by the Canadian poet, J. BE. Middleten,
