“And they came Willow Tree Silhouette
From nigh and far,
In hushed sacred wonderment,
Following the star,
And the blinding
Brightness
Of the heavenly host
And prophetic song
Of the sage Oracle.
For they came to witness
The birth of the Child
And to pray,
For who would ever beguile
Such a miracle?”
“And a baby there in swaddling clothes on hay—
Why does the story never wear out?”
Carl Sandburg, The Sandburg Range, “Star Silver”
