Yes, I shall watch the sky tonight And search the wide horizon far, Expectant of the moving light The wise men knew to be His star; And truly as it guided them Who from the East so long ago Came joyfully to Bethlehem It will lead me, and I shall know, Though roof be very lowly where Its silvery light is softly shed, That I shall find the Christ-child there With heavenly halo on His head. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE THREE CHILDREN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN CHILDREN SELECTING BOOKS IN A LIBRARY by RANDALL JARRELL COME TO THE STONE ... by RANDALL JARRELL THE LOST WORLD by RANDALL JARRELL A SICK CHILD by RANDALL JARRELL CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS ON THE DEATH OF FRIENDS IN CHILDHOOD by DONALD JUSTICE THE POET AT SEVEN by DONALD JUSTICE |
