- 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
