The Light Of The World

Now burn, new born to the world,
  Doubled-naturéd name,
The heaven-flung, heart-fleshed, maiden-furled
  Miracle-in-Mary-of-flame,
Mid-numbered He in three of the thunder-throne!
Not a dooms-day dazzle in his coming nor dark
  as he came;
  Kind, but royally reclaiming his own;
A released shower, let flash to the shire, not
  a lightning of fire hard-hurled.
