A Sonnet Of The Season

Title:     A Sonnet Of The Season
Author: Cotton Noe [More Titles by Noe]

The carol in my heart I send to you:
It comes from out the depths of brooding time
To cheer and bless in every place and clime;
To purge the false, to chasten and subdue;
To lift the drooping life, inspire the true
To nobler deeds and thoughts of love sublime.
This anthem--which I sing in sonnet rhyme--
Judean shepherds heard and angels knew!

And now we fear no longer war's alarms,
For red-eyed Mars has fled at last our home:
Christ took the little children in his arms
And blessed them, saying, Suffer them to come
To me that all the sons of men may find
My kingdom here within the child-like mind.

[The end]
Cotton Noe's poem: Sonnet Of The Season
