Amphora

…waken the soul that reposes To praise of our SAVIOUR the King. Let myrtle and honey and amber Be mixed in the censer and spiced That our worship may cluster and clamber To the mother of CHRIST and the CHRIST. Miraculous birth of the lilies, Afloat in the fountains that spring, One Voice on the lake that is still, is The voice of our SAVIOUR the King. Let corn for His Body be gilded ! Pour wine for His Blood the unpriced ! That a temple of worship be builded For CHRIST and the Mother of CHRIST. Too pale the libation we spill is ; Too cold is the…

Amphora

…mists of Terra flee ; To lift Thy veil we take Thy veil, And give our lives to Thee. Our hopes are sacrificed At Thy pellucid shrine. We worship CHRIST ; to wed with CHRIST We take Thy vows divine. O Thou supremely pure, Cleanse Thou this feeble clay ! Thy grace endure that we endure To that mirific day ! Our virgin brows and pale The holy Crown shall gird. Who took Thy veil shall lift Thy veil And hear the final Word. T 64

Amphora

AMPHORA XIII Sacrament of Penance Y night I waste upon my bed For Her to whom my worship soars ; By day I bow my weary head Within Her melancholy doors. I shall not ever be content With earth and all its tedious pleasure. I look toward the great event, To Mary’s bliss, the starry treasure. I scourge my body till the blood Pours from this heart that hateth light, Mix with its tide Thy crystal flood ! O Mary, cleanse Thine acolyte ! Accept this offering of pain ! Receive Thy neophyte’s devotion, Till to Thy peace he rise again, O star of love on …

Amphora

AMPHORA II NSHRINED in cloistral sanctity I sit and worship solemnly. Mary is everything to me. I hail Thee holy Mary. By day and night I sit alone Mute as a monument of stone, And meditate before the throne Of bright and blessed Mary. I see Her glory from afar Gleam like some cold and sacred star Among the solitudes that are The shrines of blessed Mary. Bid Thou these filmy eyes to see ! Turn Thou this heart to grace and gree ! Bring Thou my sense-dulled self to Thee, O bright and blessed Mary ! The song may cease, but through the air Ever sha…
