THE COMET; NOVEMBER, 1882.

 

Wondrous portent, set on high,

Moving through the silent sky,

Clothed in formless majesty,—

Who can read those words of light

On the star-lit wall of night?

Mene, Tekel,” dost thou write?

Nay, thou bright Star in the East,

O’er no haughty monarch’s feast,

Prophet nor Chaldæan priest,

Doth thy gentle radiance shine;

Nobler resting-place is thine,

’Tis a Baby’s brow divine.

With the waning of the year

From afar thou dost appear,

Telling us that Christ is near.
