…mercy find our ease. Beside the pleasant streams we move, Our thoughts concentrated on the above, And find our joyance in Thy love. When Death’s cold stream runs black and chill, And yew and cypress haunt the hill, Be Thou our love and comfort still. Receive us (by Thy Motherhood) By deathless stream and fadeless wood In Thy celestial solitude. Amen. U 38

…ure eyes beneath The heavy-fringed ecstatic lids, Seeing for maiden song and wreath Sphinxes and pagan Pyramids ! O sorrow bitterer than death To leave the dear delighted land, And change the groves of Nazareth For lonely leagues of sterile sand ! To us who wander desolate In Earth’s sad wilderness do Thou Bend down Thy lips immaculate And touch and kiss the adoring brow ! Amen. A 25

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.

Wild and sonorous the clamour, vast in the region of death, Live with the Fire of the Spirit, the essence and flame of the breath ! Sound, O sound ! Gleam in the world of the dark, where the chained ones shall tremble and flee ! Gleam in the skies of the dusk, for the Light of the Dawn is in me ! Light on the forehead, and life in the nostrils, and love in the breast, Shine, O thou Star of the Dawning, thou Sun of the Radiant Crest ! Shine, O shine ! Flame throu…

…neel at Mary’s shrine ; the incense fumes ascend To bring my spirit through to GOD’S appointed end. Though in the valley of the shade of death I be, I fear not ; for Thy rod and staff they comfort me. I imprecate the aid of Mary, Mother mild ! The asp and dragon bow before Her Holy Child. The heathen did uprise ; the folk of fear and doubt. Great bulls of Bashan did encompass me about. The lions roared for prey ; the eagles screamed for food : All these were stilled before thy crownèd Motherhood. Therefore, though men devise ill counsels and va…
