AMPHORA
V
HE shadows fall about the way ;
Strange faces glimmer in the gloom ;
The soul clings feebly to the clay.
For that, the void ; for this, the tomb !
But Mary sheds a blessed light ;
Her perfect face dispels the fears.
She charms Her melancholy knight
Up to the glad and gracious spheres.
O Mary, like a pure perfume
Do thou receive this failing breath,
And with Thy starry lamp illume
The darkling corridors of death !
Amen.
