OUT of the Shadow of the Night I come, led by the starshine bright, With broken heart to bring to Thee The fruit of Thine Epiphany, The gift my fellows send by me, The myrrh to bed Thine agony, I set it here beneath Thy feet, In token of Death's great defeat; And hail Thee Conqueror in the strife, And hail Thee Lord of Light and Life. All hail! All hail the Virgin Son! All hail! Thou little helpless One! All hail! Thou King upon the Tree! All hail! The Babe on Mary's Knee The centre of all mystery! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HYMN FOR EPIPHANY by REGINALD HEBER SORROW by DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE ODE TO THE WEST WIND by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY COR CORDIUM by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE IN MEMORIAM A.H.H.: 82 by ALFRED TENNYSON THE MERRIMAC by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER |
