On The Morning Of Christ's Nativity by John Milton
A richly lyrical meditation on the birth of Christ that treats the Incarnation as a cosmic turning point: angels break the darkness with hymn and song, prophecy is fulfilled in a humble manger, and the powers of evil are foiled and put to flight. The poem contrasts the tumult of sin and Satan’s thwarted designs with the quiet miracle of a newborn who brings peace and a renewed order, celebrating divine glory, prophetic fulfillment, and the dawn of salvation for humankind.
