During a dark period in American history, one of their poets wrote what has become a beloved carol - I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day. The lyrics of this carol, reveal a man in despair. Although his despair had its reasons, it doesn't get the last word. Seeing something, his poem takes a turn for the better and his despair is transformed into hope. Wonder what he saw?
