THE MIRACLE by ANONYMOUS

First Line: CLOSE-HUNG WITH SILENCE WAS THE DARKENED ROOM
Last Line: AND MORTALS KNEW--THE MIRACLE OF BIRTH
Subject(s): MOTHERS;
CLOSE-HUNG with silence was the darkened room;
Through starlit distances there came to earth
A thread from off God's never-ceasing loom;
And mortals knew--the miracle of birth.
