    “Had I but awakened from sleep
    And called her name, she had heard
    It may be, and had not stirred,
    That now, it may be, has found
    The horn’s sweet note and the tooth of the hound.”

    “and the oxen near
    The worn foundations of their resting-place,
    The holy manger where their bed is corn
    And holly torn for Christmas. If they die,
    As Jesus, in the harness, who will mourn?
    Lamb of the shepherds, Child, how still you lie.”
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
