Merry Christmas
Mice In The Hay - Leslie Norris
out of the lamplight
whispering worshipping
the mice in the hay
timid eyes pearl-bright
whispering worshipping
whisking quick and away
they were there that night
whispering worshipping
smaller than snowflakes are
quietly made their way
whispering worshipping
close to the manger
yes they were afraid
whispering worshipping
as the journey was made
from a dark corner
whispering worshipping
scuttling together
But He smiled to see them
whispering worshipping
there in the lamplight
stretched out His hand to them
they saw the baby King
hurried back out of sight
whispering worshipping

Crystal, I love the mouse picture at the end--like an unexpected Christmas present tucked away in the very toe of the stocking. Thank you for your wonderful blog (and for bringing me to Connie Willis this year--and through me, a chain of others who are now reading her).
Have a great Christmas and a good 2012.
Thanks William - I wish the same to you :)
Been looking for this Poem for years, I read it at primary school but all I remembered was the words Whispering, worshipping and mice.So happy to find it 😊
