Three poems by Father David Mr. Knight, written in Grand Coteau between 1950

and 1952:

Sunlight

Funny, God, whenever we

Look up our faces crack.

You make your sun smile down on us,

Can we help smiling back?

Cana Clouds

I like the sunset clouds the best,

The cotton-candy kind.

To bless day's close, does God put out

The best ones he can find?

Or for our Lady change the clouds

From water into wine?

Antiphon

"Bird, who wrote that song for you?

Who taught you how to bring

Such joy?"

"My Father. He's your Father too.

Don't you know how to sing,

Little boy?"
