I FOLLOW A STAR

I follow a star Burning deep in the blue, A sign on the hills Lit for me and for you! Moon-red is the star, Halo-ringed like a rood, Christ’s heart in its heart set, Streaming with blood. Follow the gilly Beyond to the west: He leads where the Christ lies On Mary’s white breast. King, priest and prophet— A child, and no more— Adonai the Maker! Come, let us adore.
