Shine with my Star!
Shelter his dreams,
Evergreen bough!
(Joseph, pausing a moment before he follows, speaks to his lantern.)
JOSEPH
Now lantern, that dost hide His holy light,
Show forth on high thy little Master’s star!
(He blows out the lantern.
Instantly a shining Star appears on the top of the Tree. Staring upward with gestures of surprise, the Creatures murmur aloud.)
