Defying the Darkness
Dec 14, 2016, 02:55 PM
The cloudy sky o’erwhelms the failing sun Who does not shine or dapple sleeping trees But wintered away to southern courses run On this Saint Lucy’s Day. Dear Lucy, wreathed in beauty, bearing gifts That we dared not hope for here in the dark And seeing your courage, our spirits each lift To name this, Saint Lucy’s Day. We are lost again midway through our life To dwell in our dark catacombs of fear But you cry the Creed: “God of God; Light of Light”. Defying darkness on this Saint Lucy’s Day. Come to us; illumine in your splendored wreath of light As we await in hope and love the end of winter’s night.
