SHALL misery make mirth, Lord of our disbelief? What gift of joy has earth? @3Bring me your grief.@1 How shall old fables heal Our world of woe and sin? @3When you through fable feel The truth within.@1 There is no guiding star; The heavens are black and blind. @3The Magi journeyed far; So must mankind.@1 What singing angels press Bright wings down these wild skies? @3Courage and Faithfulness And Sacrifice.@1 Madonna? Child? Are we Shepherds to seek for them? Love! Peace! Let your heart be Their Bethlehem. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LITTLE GIRL FOUND, FR.
