Notes About The Poem

Christmas delight

Hear the song that angels sing tonight
A Child is born amid the winter snow
Come to Him who bears Heaven’s delight.

Come, poor shepherds, to the Son of Light
Rejoice, whose ears were the first to know
Hear the song that angels sing tonight.

Come, O kings, who traversed through the night
You, who were led by the West Star’s glow
Come to Him who bears Heaven’s delight.

Come, those who are blind, and receive your sight
Before the horns of Judgment blow,
Hear the song that angels sing tonight.

Come, whose hearts are broken and contrite
Walk from your sins and lay down your woes
Come to Him who bears Heaven’s delight.

Behold the One who hears your plight
Whose Grace to the meek shall overflow
O Hear the song that angels sing tonight,
Come to Him who bears Heaven’s delight.

Vanya, I appreciate your support for my Flash Poetry Challenge (11). Villanelles are very strict & difficult, but yours feels effortless and majestic due to the subject matter. A nice first impression for your first posted poem on Poetry Soup.

Wonderful poem, Vanya. It's a difficult form to write, but you've done so very eloquently. What a wonderful poem to bring in Christmas with.

Thank you for the kind comment. I love villanelles, but it is indeed quite a challenge to write in. Glad I managed to pull it off okay.
