Subject(s): Mary. Mother Of Jesus; Women - Bible; Virgin Mary


Bless all the little white things, Holy Mother:
Dream a white magic on the winter roofs,
Spread a wide net for silver reindeer hoofs,
Blow the soft wood smoke up the chimney-throat,
Twist it in waves against the blue-moon-boat;
Spill the hoar frost, like slanting silver rain
In fairy cities down the window-pane;
Touch the horned owl, the rabbit, and the mouse,
The silver pheasant, and the timid grouse --
All sweet wild things, tonight, which seek the cover.
Bless all the little white things, Holy Mother.
