THE SONG or RFsus.
We sing bis birth-the harn that shelf
crcd him, the mother that nursed him,
the cattle that fca beside hinl. the angels
that woke up The shepherds, shaking
light over the midnight hills. We sing

came tie sutlcr for Il whole army. We
sing his sorrows-his stone-bruised feet,
his aching heart, his mountain loneliness.
his desert hunger, his storm-pelted body,

his last moments, and the unreasonable

the painless air. higher and higher. until

heaven kept jubilee ut the return Of the
cOnqucror.
