WOULD YOU FOLLOW?

How many would follow the star tonight
If it shone past the Milky Way,
Leave comfortable homes and follow it still
           Over the hills and away?

How many would open their doors tonight
For a weary and shabby pair,
Make room at hearths for a Stranger-Child
Though the Infant be wondrous fair?

How many would give of their goods tonight,
The best they possess and more,
For their faith in a star and an angel choir
And a King forevermore?

We censure the folk of bygone time
For indifference to Mary's plight.
How many would do any better now?
Would you follow the star tonight?
