Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 The Gift Of The Animals In a rude stable cold,The friendly beasts,their stories told: "I," said the donkey,shaggy and brown,"Carried his motherup hill and down.Carried her safelyto Bethlehem town.I," said the cowall white and red,Gave him my mangerfor his bed,Gave him my hayto pillow his head.I," said the sheep,with the curly horn,"Gave him woolfor his blanket warm;He wore my coaton Christmas Morn.I," said the camel,all yellow and black,"Over desert, upon my back,Brought him a giftin the Wise Man's pack.I," said the dove,"from my rafter high,Cooed him to sleep,that he should not cry,We cooed him to sleep,my mate and I." And every beast,by some good spellIn the stable darkness,was able to tellOf the gift he gaveto Emmanuel. Author ~ Robert Davis Mail - Find what you need with new enhanced search. Learn more.
