That Night - A Christmas Poem
In honor of the Christmas season, here's a poem called That Night from an unknown author:
That NightThat night when in the Judean skiesThe mystic star dispensed its light, A blind man moved in his sleep - And dreamed that he had sight. That night when shepherds heard the song Of hosts angelic choiring near, A deaf man stirred in slumber's spell - And dreamed that he could hear! That night when in the cattle stall Slept Child and mother cheek by jowl, A cripple turned his twisted limbs - And dreamed that he was whole. That night when o'er the newborn Babe The tender Mary rose to lean, A loathsome leper smiled in sleep - And dreamed that he was clean. That night when to the mother's breast The little King was held secure, A harlot slept a happy sleep - And dreamed that she was pure! That night when in the manger lay The Sanctified who came to save, A man moved in the sleep of death - And dreamed there was no grave. 12/26/2007 www.konig.org See a list of all of our commentaries Copyright ©1999-2009 George Konig Home Page Our email address is: cifquestions@yahoo.com |
