CALLED EARLY

It is a morning very bright:
Through all the stars of the long starry night
Mary hath not been sleeping: for delight
She hath kept watch through the starry night.
Joseph comes to her quietly:
“A journey I must take with thee,
Mary, my wife, from Galilee.”
He saw that she had wept,
And all her secret kept.
