In peaceful beauty and stillness,
In the starlight gold and bright;
The shepherds abode in their fields
And watched their flocks by night.
When an angel came unto them
And said, "Fear not for I bring
Good tidings of joy, for today
Is born the Saviour and King.
"Guided by a star you'll find him
In a manger--no room in the inn;"--
Glory to God in the highest,
Peace and good will to men.
V.C.
My Aunt Virginia was a teacher and a poet. Sadly, a number of her poems were on tissues and paper bags or whatever she could find when she had the urge to write and many are lost forever. She would wake up in the middle of the night with a poem screaming to be released. Where ever she was, if the urge struck, she had to write. Many were published but most weren't. I hope to rectify that here. All copyright to these poems belongs to me now. She is second from the left in the photo above.
