Christmas Song By Jane Merchant


Like other religions, in Christianity too, poets have tried to glorify their Lord. There are plenty of poems on Jesus Christ and his birth in Bethlehem. These poems, glorifying Lord Jesus, are very much a part of celebration of Christmas. The poem 'Christmas Song' has been written by Jane Merchant. This particular poem serves to be a portrayal of Jesus Christ, his birth and surrounding situations prevailing at that time. A living example of the use of metaphors and similes, this poem takes us closer to God.

 

Christmas Song

There was seen a radiance

Glowing one night

Near the little maiden Mary

In blue and white.

"Lilies are not fairer,

"Roses more red,

Than the Child she sings to slumber,"

An angel said.

So the shepherds ventured

Through the white cold,

And their eyes beheld the Infant,

An hour old.

Long they gazed and wondered,

Awkward in awe,

At the paramount perfection

Within their straw.

"Diamonds are but trifles!

"Rubies no gem!"

Cried the hearts that slaved for pittance

Near Bethlehem.

So it was forever,

After the night

When the little maiden Mary

Wore blue and white.
