So Sweet A Song Poem by Ernestine Northover
So Sweet A Song
A golden star hung in the sky,
And sang to the child a lullaby.
So sweet a song, that the boy did sleep
Alongside the donkey and bleating sheep.
Fresh hay, so soft, was his cradle bed,
Within a cold and damp cattle shed.
And his Mother, in her deep joy, wept,
As vigil over here babe, she kept.
A golden star hung in the sky,
And shone so bright to signify
That here did lay a Holy King,
Who gives us life everlasting.

Beautiful and touching...the contrast of His bed of hay, his mother's love and His royalty...just perfect, not sweetly sentimental but tender and loving!
