Nightlight

Eternal and sure doth the sun not rise,

blessed the week's sacrament, seven times?

Doth it not excel and decline, traveler of the noon,

spite the warning of the road, the fog and gloom?

The strength of the Son like a star 'neath the gray,

beheld not in my eye, but a deeper way.

Shining stone of my creed, guide our feet in the dark,

go forth at night we brave ones to make a spark.

Heh I think I made this subverse

Nice poem too, thanks for sharing. Who is it by? Reminds me somewhat of Robert Southwell

Well, look at that. You did create the sub!

This poem was written by yours truly, so I'll take that comparison as a compliment although I'm not familiar with who he is. I don't know a lot about poetry.

Oh you wrote it! Very nice!

is Southwell's most famous poem. Suits the season.
