Hodie, Hodie


The angel choir, so we’re told,

Filled the riven skies of old,

Expressing their celestial joy

To greet the Father’s Holy Boy;

Exhausting their divine thesaurus

For epithets in fugue and chorus


While Mary, in the stable yonder,

Perplexedly was led to ponder

Whether heaven’s host could maybe

Be more quiet for the Baby.
