Mother of Hope: A Poem

"Hope dwells with us and we behold His face"

World and winter in darkness lie enclaved
Hope begins as the Virgin elects to say
From darkness of death we shall be set free
May Eternal Light bear forth from me

As the star leads the Magi to Bethlehem
Heaven's lights gather in a golden band
To crown the humble Lady below
Who with radiant light of hope doth glow

Rejoice! For on this day Christ is born
Cradled is He by whom worlds were formed
Yet held tenderly in our Mother's embrace
Hope dwells with us and we behold His face
