Born to make us wild

5 May 2022 | Jesus Christ | 0 comments

A child is born, they cry, a child

And he is Noble and not Mild

(It is this child that makes them wild)…

 

All noble mild children are brought home

To the wicked king who has cast them down

And ground their bones on the heavy stone.

 

But the child that is Noble and not Mild

He lies in his cot. He is unbeguiled,

He is Noble, he is not Mild,

And he is born to make men wild.

 

Stevie Smith (1902-71), 1978.
