AMPHORA
XI
Feast of the Nativity
HE cool December breezes
Appease the glowing sun.
The agonies and eases
Of all the year are done :—
When eastward through the lampless night
There shone a strange and splendid light.
The noise of pomp and battle
Of Israel died away.
Amid the lowing cattle
The Holy Mother lay,
While at Her breast the Child Divine
Drank in the starry milk and wine.
Three magians Chaldean
Have bowed their royal knees
Before the Galilean,
The GOD of stars and seas,
And tasted all the fervent grace
That shone from Mary’s maiden face.
