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.

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.
