Summary |
Richard Wilbur?s lyric?A Stable-Lamp is Lighted,? originally written to be sung chorally at a candlelight service at Wesleyan University in 1958, is both a much admired poem sung by church choirs in Advent and Christmas concerts and a successful hymn text. Wilbur?s text combines the attributes of a text for congregational and choral singing with those of a Modernist poem. |
