LITTLE BOY BLUE, by THOMAS HOLLEY CHIVERS Poet's Biography
First Line: Though he lay on the ground
Last Line: From the mountains of morn. . . .
First Line: Though he lay on the ground
Last Line: From the mountains of morn. . . .
Though he lay on the ground,
Yet, in visions of night,
He was compassed all round
By the angels of the night.
Where the Cherubim rode
On four lions of gold,
There this cherub abode
Making new what was old.
Where the angels came down
To the shepherds at night,
Near to Bethlehem Town,
Clad in garments of light --
There the Little Boy Blue
Blew aloud on his horn
Songs as soft as the dew
From the Mountains of Morn. . . .
