Notes About The Poem

Proud Star of Bethlehem

Oh, awe!

That precious star

That pierced the shadow of night

With a splendor, inviolate,

Blazing the advent of a savior ...

The abiding aspect of God

Made mortal child ...

A tender, earthly angel of Bethlehem,

Brought forth in faultless but humble glory,

To rend the darkness of humanity

With love and grace, immaculate ...

Oh, dazzling star!

Oh, awe!
