Cold comfort in the chastity of sorrow, Having turned in pain towards innocence, Reaching through the madness for the marrow, Intent, for once, on yielding all pretence; Sensing the necessity of love Though feeling none but hunger well within, Meaning nothing more than one might prove As one finds little proof in death and sin: So it was one night in Bethlehem.
