Poet’s Showcase: ‘Vigil’
A watch in the night
down centuries,
down millennia,
and again Noel.
In an age-old vigil,
from a restless world
unforgettable song;
once again Christmas Eve,
Noel.
A watch in the night
in yet another year,
an occasion of peace,
ineffable, sweet,
brief.
— Beverly Boyd lives in Lawrence.
