Morning-Glory

 In this meadow starred with spring 
Shepherds kneel before their king.
 
Mary throned, with dreaming eyes, 
Gowned in blue like rain-washed skies, 
Lifts her tiny son that he
May behold their courtesy.
 
And green-smocked children, awed and good, 
Bring him blossoms from the wood.
 

Clear the sunlit steeples chime 
Mary’s coronation-time.

Loud the happy children quire 
To the golden-windowed morn; 
While the lord of their desire 
Sleeps below the crimson thorn.
