Publisher's Synopsis

Hymn On The Morning Of Christ's Nativity is a poem written by the renowned English poet John Milton. The poem is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ and is divided into three parts. The first part sets the scene of the Nativity, describing the darkness of the night and the arrival of the angels. The second part focuses on the shepherds who have come to see the newborn baby, and the third part is a hymn of praise to Christ.Milton's language is rich and poetic, and he uses vivid imagery to bring the Nativity to life. He describes the angels as ""bright-harnessed"" and ""winged warriors"" and the shepherds as ""simple men"" who are ""rapt in wonder"". The hymn at the end of the poem is a beautiful tribute to Christ, praising him as the ""great Creator"" and the ""Redeemer of mankind"".Hymn On The Morning Of Christ's Nativity is considered one of Milton's greatest works and is widely regarded as one of the finest Christmas poems in the English language. It is a powerful and moving tribute to the birth of Jesus Christ and is sure to inspire readers of all ages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
