The poem, <i>The Miracle Songs +of Jesus</i>, hitherto unpublished, shows Mr. MacDonald's distinguished +gift in a new form, and will be welcomed as an important contribution +to religious verse. +</p> + +<p><br /><br /><br /></p> + +<p><a id="chap007"></a></p> + +<h3> + THE MIRACLE SONGS OF JESUS +</h3> + +<p><br /></p> + +<p class="poem"> +Jesus, the poet of Galilee,<br /> +Fashioned the light in His lyric hands,<br /> +And held it up for all men to see:<br /> +The Publican and the Pharisee,<br /> +The merchant rich and the robber bands<br /> +On the outcast fringe of Galilee.<br /> +But all of the wise men sneered at Him;<br /> +And the gay young fellows jeered at Him;<br /> +And only a fisherman fool or two<br /> +Looked up at the Light with its liquid hue<br /> +And drank its beauty of red and blue.<br /> +</p> + +<p class="poem"> +Jesus, the poet of Galilee,<br /> +Sang that the weary might be free;<br /> +Sang of the lilies—how their glory<br /> +Shamed the best at a king's command;<br /> +Sang His truths in a lyric story<br /> +Even the poor could understand.<br /> +And the wise men heard and they tried to scan<br /> +The rhymes of the poet Son-of-Man.<br /> +But, every time that He sang, they found<br /> +Some cherished rule of their pedant school<br /> +Was killed in his poem's strange, new sound.<br /> +</p> + +<p class="poem"> +And Jesus, the poet, grew sick at heart<br /> +And fled from the halls where learning kills;<br /> +And took His verse from the fear of art<br /> +To the bold delight of the rain-washed hills.<br /> +And the songs He sang to the desert sea<br /> +Were far too sweet for the ears of men;<br /> +But the gray-white dunes of Galilee<br /> +Have blown with a fairer flower since then.<br /> +</p> + +<p class="poem"> +A learned group of dons will gloat<br /> +At a fool's last word in a high priest's throat.<br /> +But the song of God in a Carpenter's saw<br /> +Could never hold wise men in awe.<br /> +And whenever Christ, the bard, would sing<br /> +They lost His truth in a hammer's ring.<br /> +</p> + +<p class="poem"> +The wilderness called with her silent lure:<br /> +"O poet of thoughtless Nazareth<br /> +Come out to me with your starry breath."<br /> +And His white reed yearned for the moon-chilled sands<br /> +Where the frayed flowers cure<br /> +With their gypsy hands.<br /> +But He turned His face<br /> +From the silent place,<br /> +With the comrade stars above,<br /> +As we all have done,<br /> +As we all have done<br /> +From a maid we dare not love.<br /> +</p> + +<p class="poem"> +And the silent desert called again:<br /> +"O poet of thoughtless Nazareth,<br /> +Come out to me with your fragrant breath,<br /> +And walk with me in the moon's white rain."<br /> +But a blind man's stick on a hollow stone,<br /> +As it slowly tapped through a distant city,<br /> +And a broken woman's hopeless moan<br /> +Called out to Him with a deeper tone;<br /> +And the heart of the Lord was pity.<br /> +</p> + +<p class="poem"> +And back to the town the poet came,<br /> +And took His feet to the temple's hall,<br /> +And heard the boast of a man named Saul;<br /> +And He heard Saul mock,<br /> +In a fiery tongue,<br /> +The sweetest songs which His heart had sung.<br /> +But Jesus of Nazareth, then and there,<br /> +Could scarce forbear<br /> +From a fond embrace,<br /> +Knowing the beauty the man should wear<br /> +At another time, in another place.<br /> +</p> + +<p class="poem"> +The critics were many in Jesus' day;<br /> +And His songs were scorned by the caustic pen.<br /> +He did not write in the Grecian way;<br /> +And He knew not how to preach or pray<br /> +In a way approved of men.<br /> +His themes were bad by the Roman chart,<br /> +And His metres all were wrong;<br /> +For all of the High Priests had their art,<br /> +And He had only His song.<br /> +</p> + +<p class="poem"> +Now few of the people cared to hear<br /> +The Poet blow on His starry reeds;<br /> +So He took His gift from the soul's high sphere—<br /> +The miracle song that few would hear—<br /> +And lowered His power,<br /> +In a hopeless hour,<br /> +And made men cower<br /> +At His miracle deeds.<br /> +</p> + +<p class="poem"> +A miracle deed is a simple thing<br /> +To a miracle song or a miracle truth.<br /> +Yet they marvelled not that a song could bring<br /> +To the veins of Time the world's lost youth.<br /> +And two were gathered and sometimes three<br /> +To hear the poet of Galilee.<br /> +But the mob swept down like leaves in a storm<br /> +When they heard the miracle man would perform.<br /> +</p> + +<p class="poem"> +And the lame men walked and the blind men saw;<br /> +And the dead men breathed by a strange, new law.<br /> +But they were few to the far-flung throng<br /> +Who saw and breathed through the poet's song.<br /> +When they sat and fed on the fish and bread<br /> +Five thousand men was an easy count;<br /> +And the deed was done;<br /> +But to-morrow's sun<br /> +Will still bring throngs to the Pulpit-Mount.<br /> +</p> + +<p class="poem"> +And I am sure that John or Mary<br /> +Cared not a whit when He walked the sea.<br /> +But I am sure that they loved to tarry<br /> +And hear the Poet of Galilee.<br /> +And of the throng that around Him pressed<br /> +'Twas John and Mary that He loved best.<br /> +</p> + +<p class="poem"> +And when the Poet sat down, to choose<br /> +The men to take to the world His news,<br /> +He sought no men who had held their dishes<br /> +To catch His gift of the loaves and fishes.<br /> +But He chose them out of the purer throngs<br /> +Who came to hear His miracle songs.<br /> +</p> + +<p class="poem"> +And when at last He went up a Hill,<br /> +To seal His songs with the seal of Death,<br /> +Whose were the hands that were raised to kill<br /> +This brave young poet of Nazareth?<br /> +The man who thrust at His side I find<br /> +Was a man who saw Him heal the blind.<br /> +And the men who fed on the fish and bread<br /> +Were cheering the deed in the ranks behind.<br /> +But in a group which had drawn apart,<br /> +To pour their tears for His broken heart,<br /> +Were the ones who heard<br /> +His miracle word.<br /> +</p> + +<p class="poem"> +If all of the miracle deeds of Christ<br /> +Had proven birth in a womb of lies<br /> +My spirit would still with Him keep tryst<br /> +With faith as deep as the sun-washed skies.<br /> +But why should I doubt so simple a thing<br /> +As a miracle deed from a man who could sing<br /> +A miracle song that sheds its power<br /> +In a pure, white light to the world's last hour.<br /> +</p> + +<p class="poem"> +The temple bells ring out to-day<br /> +And the Pharisees pray<br /> +In their ancient way.<br /> +And the lips of the preachers love to tarry<br /> +On the virgin birth and the miracle deed;<br /> +But the temple bells I shall not heed;<br /> +For I am going with John and Mary<br /> +Out on the hills with the slender throngs<br /> +Who love to hear the Miracle Songs.<br /> +</p> + +<p><br /><br /><br /><br /></p> + + + + + + + + +<pre> + + + + + +End of Project Gutenberg's The Miracle Songs of Jesus, by Wilson

The poem, _The Miracle Songs +of Jesus_, hitherto unpublished, shows Mr. MacDonald's distinguished +gift in a new form, and will be welcomed as an important contribution +to religious verse. + + + + + THE MIRACLE SONGS OF JESUS + + + Jesus, the poet of Galilee, + Fashioned the light in His lyric hands, + And held it up for all men to see: + The Publican and the Pharisee, + The merchant rich and the robber bands + On the outcast fringe of Galilee. + But all of the wise men sneered at Him; + And the gay young fellows jeered at Him; + And only a fisherman fool or two + Looked up at the Light with its liquid hue + And drank its beauty of red and blue. + + Jesus, the poet of Galilee, + Sang that the weary might be free; + Sang of the lilies--how their glory + Shamed the best at a king's command; + Sang His truths in a lyric story + Even the poor could understand. + And the wise men heard and they tried to scan + The rhymes of the poet Son-of-Man. + But, every time that He sang, they found + Some cherished rule of their pedant school + Was killed in his poem's strange, new sound. + + And Jesus, the poet, grew sick at heart + And fled from the halls where learning kills; + And took His verse from the fear of art + To the bold delight of the rain-washed hills. + And the songs He sang to the desert sea + Were far too sweet for the ears of men; + But the gray-white dunes of Galilee + Have blown with a fairer flower since then. + + A learned group of dons will gloat + At a fool's last word in a high priest's throat. + But the song of God in a Carpenter's saw + Could never hold wise men in awe. + And whenever Christ, the bard, would sing + They lost His truth in a hammer's ring. + + The wilderness called with her silent lure: + "O poet of thoughtless Nazareth + Come out to me with your starry breath." + And His white reed yearned for the moon-chilled sands + Where the frayed flowers cure + With their gypsy hands. + But He turned His face + From the silent place, + With the comrade stars above, + As we all have done, + As we all have done + From a maid we dare not love. + + And the silent desert called again: + "O poet of thoughtless Nazareth, + Come out to me with your fragrant breath, + And walk with me in the moon's white rain." + But a blind man's stick on a hollow stone, + As it slowly tapped through a distant city, + And a broken woman's hopeless moan + Called out to Him with a deeper tone; + And the heart of the Lord was pity. + + And back to the town the poet came, + And took His feet to the temple's hall, + And heard the boast of a man named Saul; + And He heard Saul mock, + In a fiery tongue, + The sweetest songs which His heart had sung. + But Jesus of Nazareth, then and there, + Could scarce forbear + From a fond embrace, + Knowing the beauty the man should wear + At another time, in another place. + + The critics were many in Jesus' day; + And His songs were scorned by the caustic pen. + He did not write in the Grecian way; + And He knew not how to preach or pray + In a way approved of men. + His themes were bad by the Roman chart, + And His metres all were wrong; + For all of the High Priests had their art, + And He had only His song. + + Now few of the people cared to hear + The Poet blow on His starry reeds; + So He took His gift from the soul's high sphere-- + The miracle song that few would hear-- + And lowered His power, + In a hopeless hour, + And made men cower + At His miracle deeds. + + A miracle deed is a simple thing + To a miracle song or a miracle truth. + Yet they marvelled not that a song could bring + To the veins of Time the world's lost youth. + And two were gathered and sometimes three + To hear the poet of Galilee. + But the mob swept down like leaves in a storm + When they heard the miracle man would perform. + + And the lame men walked and the blind men saw; + And the dead men breathed by a strange, new law. + But they were few to the far-flung throng + Who saw and breathed through the poet's song. + When they sat and fed on the fish and bread + Five thousand men was an easy count; + And the deed was done; + But to-morrow's sun + Will still bring throngs to the Pulpit-Mount. + + And I am sure that John or Mary + Cared not a whit when He walked the sea. + But I am sure that they loved to tarry + And hear the Poet of Galilee. + And of the throng that around Him pressed + 'Twas John and Mary that He loved best. + + And when the Poet sat down, to choose + The men to take to the world His news, + He sought no men who had held their dishes + To catch His gift of the loaves and fishes. + But He chose them out of the purer throngs + Who came to hear His miracle songs. + + And when at last He went up a Hill, + To seal His songs with the seal of Death, + Whose were the hands that were raised to kill + This brave young poet of Nazareth? + The man who thrust at His side I find + Was a man who saw Him heal the blind. + And the men who fed on the fish and bread + Were cheering the deed in the ranks behind. + But in a group which had drawn apart, + To pour their tears for His broken heart, + Were the ones who heard + His miracle word. + + If all of the miracle deeds of Christ + Had proven birth in a womb of lies + My spirit would still with Him keep tryst + With faith as deep as the sun-washed skies. + But why should I doubt so simple a thing + As a miracle deed from a man who could sing + A miracle song that sheds its power + In a pure, white light to the world's last hour. + + The temple bells ring out to-day + And the Pharisees pray + In their ancient way. + And the lips of the preachers love to tarry + On the virgin birth and the miracle deed; + But the temple bells I shall not heed; + For I am going with John and Mary + Out on the hills with the slender throngs + Who love to hear the Miracle Songs. + + + + + + + + + + + +End of Project Gutenberg's The Miracle Songs of Jesus, by Wilson MacDonald + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE MIRACLE SONGS OF JESUS *** + +***** This file should be named 38599.txt or 38599.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/3/8/5/9/38599/ + +Produced by Al Haines + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.
