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