MANGERS by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHO KNOWS THE NAME AND COUNTRY NOW
Last Line: AND JESUS TO A LITTLE CHILD.
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;
Who knows the name and country now,
Of that rich man who lived of old;
Whose horses fed at silver mangers,
And drank of wine from troughs of gold?

He who was in a manger born,
By gold and silver undefiled –
Is known as Christ to every man,
And Jesus to a little child.
