I FOLLOW A STAR

Joseph Campbell

I follow a star Burning deep in the blue, A sign on the hills Lit for me and for you!

Moon-red is the star, Halo-ringed like a rood, Christ's heart in its heart set, Streaming with blood.

Follow the gilly Beyond to the west: He leads where the Christ lies On Mary's white breast.

King, priest and prophet — A child, and no more — Adonai the Maker! Come, let us adore.
