Nativity

NATIVITY At a warm nativity Is written a cold mortality And in solitary wait the reaper To harvest as he wish and gather At the very warm cradle Already the mourners trouble Their faces an actor’s mask To hold their hypocritical task And above in heavenly nest In full and total earnest The lord already selects his seed To cast away according to deed.
