Tolkien’s newly-discovered Christmas poem

Tolkien’s newly-discovered Christmas poem

6636682381_df5f18dd00_oA Christmas poem written by J. R. R. Tolkien was recently discovered.  Entitled “Noel,” Tolkien wrote it in 1936  for a Catholic girls’ school, which printed it in the school yearbook.  Scholars stumbled upon it last year.

The poem is quite lovely, with Tolkienesque imagery combined with a strong theme of Incarnation.  I’m not sure of its copyright status, so I’ll just link to it here.
