As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
Dowland was an English composer known mostly for his compositions for lute music and his lute songs (single voice and lute).
"In
1597 Dowland published his "First Booke of Songes" in London. This
collection of lute-songs was set out in a way that allows performance
by a soloist with lute accompaniment or various combinations of singers
and instrumentalists.
From 1598 Dowland worked at the court of
Christian IV of Denmark, but he continued to publish in London. He
returned to England in 1606 and in early 1612 secured a post as one of
James I's lutenists. There are no compositions dating from the moment
of his royal appointment until his death in London in 1626. While the
date of his burial is recorded, the exact date of his death is not known ..
