THE MANGER MOUSE
He opened a window in the straw
And poked out his nose, two ears, and a paw,
And all of midnight filled the skies
Except where two dots were his eyes.
~~~
He saw the glow around the manger,
And knew that something so much stranger
Than he had ever seen before
Had come in at the stable door.
~~~
The LIGHT spread out to darker places,
And fired the garnets in the faces
Of goats and sheep...and all the cows
Wore amber jewels at their brows.
~~~
He stared at eyes that watched from under
Horns and fleece, and gazed with wonder;
Unaware the LIGHT had thrown
Starry diamonds into his own.
-Ralph W. Seager

O Father, may that holy star
Grow every year more bright,
And send its glorious beams afar
To fill the world with light.
-William Cullen Bryant
