If
IF
Angels came one night
to herald forth the Word-
that Christ was here again !
No longer would cannons thunder
nor soldiers die for cause-
the Prince of Peace
would still their wrath !
It was reason to cheer-
to raise from my sleep
and be servant for my Lord !
The mid-night simmered with light
as a soothing chorus sang throughout-
that Christ Our Lord was here again !
A wanted dream fulfilled;
as aspiration come true-
woe onto us, I fear not.
It was upon awakening,
my heart was sunk-
for mankind still was reigning
in self-pious righteousness-
with the Angels heralding;
but a murky dream beyond !
