Poem 10 A Singing in the Air

 

Our tenth Poem is by James Stephens

A Singing in The Air

(From Christmas at Freeland’s)

A snowy field! A stable piled with straw! A donkey’s sleepy pow!*

A Mother beaming on a Child! A Manager, and a munching cow!

-These we all remember now- and airy voices, heard afar! And three Magicians, and a Star!

Two thousand times of snow declare that on the Christmas of the year there is a singing in the air.

And all who listen for it hear a fairy chime, a seraph strain, telling he is born again, -that all we love is born again.

*(An old Scottish word meaning ‘head’)

May God Bless Always, Women of Faith and Hope by My Mother Rose.
