WHAT CHILD IS THIS? (BOR)

Who is this stranger with eyes that are wise?

Who acts like a fool and gives no replies?

 

Who sees my soul without my consent?

Who's features disguise a murderous intent?

 

Can this vagabond's word be believed?

Or shall my heart...shall my soul be bereaved?

 

Will this stranger's past be concealed?

Or shall my dream...shall my life be revealed?

 

Who is this stranger that understands,

This mass of confusion and lusful demands?

 

Where are the two who threaten this one?

And can The Forces Of Night overcome?

 

Shall our friends be left in the cold,

When we release our secrets untold?

 

Could this stranger be one with BOR?

Or do I pray for an unopened door?

 

Who is this stranger that hurts deep inside?

And why does the world wish to vanquish his pride?

 

Who is this stranger who longs for the kiss?

Indeed I ask you What Child Is This?
