Alone we walked and in pain <br />As blade or thorn shall twist <br />Or loud the silence talked, refrained <br />And echoes in the mist <br />Born as angels sing, a light <br />Once on earth before remains <br />Peace His Love brings to night <br />As each new life is more, proclaims <br />His birth to shine as angels sing <br />As the universe sang the Birth <br />Long ago or this night brings <br />Each babe the hope of earth <br />As thorn or joy rebounds <br />His love on earth resounds.<br /><br />Lorraine Margueritte Gasrel Black<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hope-215/
