WONDERFUL NIGHT

WONDERFUL NIGHT

Later, Our Lady was aware –

or half aware – of angels there;

of high bright wings sweeping a floor

as Gabriel’s had done before.

But in the night, the holy night,

Our Lady had no jot of sight

save for her little lovely Son,

the verily adorable One.

Looking with a joy so new on Him,

how had she noticed seraphim?
