OUT of the Shadow of the Night I come, led by the starshine bright, With broken heart to bring to Thee The fruit of Thine Epiphany, The gift my fellows send by me, The myrrh to bed Thine agony, I set it here beneath Thy feet, In token of Death's great defeat; And hail Thee Conqueror in the strife, And hail Thee Lord of Light and Life. All hail! All hail the Virgin Son! All hail! Thou little helpless One! All hail! Thou King upon the Tree! All hail! The Babe on Mary's Knee The centre of all mystery! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MYSTIC BOUNCE by TERRANCE HAYES MATHEMATICS CONSIDERED AS A VICE by ANTHONY HECHT UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE COMING OF THE PLAGUE by WELDON KEES A LITHUANIAN ELEGY by ROBERT KELLY THE RETURN (2) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON SPAIN IN AMERICA by GEORGE SANTAYANA THE MOUSE'S PETITION TO DOCTOR PRIESTLY FOUND IN THE TRAP .. by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD |
