What child is this
Who plays and rests
on Mother Nature's breast?
Whom angels greet with Silence sweet
While Lovers' watch are keeping.
ew/dmm
paraphrase
could be from, as noone else was on the sunrise beach....and high tide had erased
all of yesterday's footprints.
It took some moments to realize they were my own footprints.
They literally appeared to my heart's perceptions
as small, child footprints.
dmm
"What Child Is This?"
What child is this
Who lay to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping.
