LIKE ONE I KNOW, by NANCY CAMPBELL Poet's Biography First Line: Little christ was good, and lay Last Line: Still had been a-worshipping. Subject(s): Jesus Christ | ||||||||
Little Christ was good, and lay Sleeping, smiling in the hay; Never made the cows' round eyes Open wider at His cries; Never, when the night was dim, Startled guardian Seraphim, Who above Him in the beams Kept their watch round His white dreams; Let the rustling brown mice creep Undisturbed about His sleep. Yet if it had not been so-- Had He been like one I know, Fought with little fumbling hands, Kicked inside His swaddling bands, Puckered wilful crimsoning face-- Mary Mother, full of grace, At that little naughty thing, Still had been a-worshipping. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GREEN CHRIST by ANDREW HUDGINS MEDITATION ON SAVIORS by ROBINSON JEFFERS COMPANIONSHIP by MALTBIE DAVENPORT BABCOCK TO A WREN ON CALVARY by LARRY LEVIS THE TRANSFIGURATION by EDWIN MUIR SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 1.
