The summer dawn came over soon	A
The earth was like hot iron at noon	A
In Nazareth	B
There fell no rain to ease the heat	C
And dusk drew on with tired feet	C
And stifled breath	D
	-
The shop was low and hot and square	E
And fresh cut wood made sharp the air	E
While all day long	F
The saw went tearing thru the oak	G
That moaned as tho' the tree's heart broke	G
Beneath its wrong	F
	-
The narrow street was full of cries	H
Of bickering and snarling lies	H
In many keys	I
The tongues of Egypt and of Rome	J
And lands beyond the shifting foam	J
Of windy seas	I
	-
Sometimes a ruler riding fast	K
Scattered the dark crowds as he passed	K
And drove them close	L
In doorways drawing broken breath	D
Lest they be trampled to their death	D
Where the dust rose	M
	-
There in the gathering night and noise	N
A group of Galilean boys	N
Crowding to see	O
Gray Joseph toiling with his son	P
Saw Jesus when the task was done	P
Turn wearily	O
	-
He passed them by with hurried tread	Q
Silently nor raised his head	Q
He who looked up	R
Drinking all beauty from his birth	S
Out of the heaven and the earth	S
As from a cup	R
	-
And Mary who was growing old	T
Knew that the pottage would be cold	T
When he returned	U
He hungered only for the night	V
And westward bending sharp and bright	V
The thin moon burned	U
	-
He reached the open western gate	W
Where whining halt and leper wait	W
And came at last	K
To the blue desert where the deep	X
Great seas of twilight lay asleep	X
Windless and vast	K
	-
With shining eyes the stars awoke	G
The dew lay heavy on his cloak	G
The world was dim	Y
And in the stillness he could hear	Z
His secret thoughts draw very near	A2
And call to him	Y
	-
Faint voices lifted shrill with pain	B2
And multitudinous as rain	B2
From all the lands	C2
And all the villages thereof	D2
Men crying for the gift of love	D2
With outstretched hands	C2
	-
Voices that called with ceaseless crying	E2
The broken and the blind the dying	E2
And those grown dumb	F2
Beneath oppression and he heard	G2
Upon their lips a single word	G2
Come	F2
	-
Their cries engulfed him like the night	V
The moon put out her placid light	V
And black and low	H2
Nearer the heavy thunder drew	I2
Hushing the voices yet he knew	I2
That he would go	H2
	-
A quick spun thread of lightning burns	J2
And for a flash the day returns	J2
He only hears	K2
Joseph an old man bent and white	V
Toiling alone from morn till night	V
Thru all the years	L2
	-
Swift clouds make all the heavens blind	M2
A storm is running on the wind	M2
He only sees	I
How Mary will stretch out her hands	C2
Sobbing who never understands	C2
Voices like these	I
