AMPHORA
VII
I
EFORE the veil of death divide
And usher man to bliss or bale
He hath an hour to heal his pride
And greet Thee with a glad “ All hail ” !
CHORUS ;
Hail Mary, blessed through the ages !
Hail Mary, blessed to the term !
Thou hast stilled the heathen as he rages,
And trod upon the laidly worm.
II
In calm and storm, in peace and strife,
There is a lull ; be ours to scale
Therein the pinnacles of life
By greeting Thee with Mary hail !
III
Some of us conquer and succeed ;
Some in the battle flinch and fail :
Thou art enough for either need :—
All greet Thee with the glad “ All hail ” !
Amen.
