AMPHORA
VIII
In Time of Drought
HEN drought of summer parches up
Earth’s beatific bowers,
O pour from Thy crystalline cup
Ambrosial showers !
We wander shelterless athirst
Throughout the wilderness,
And Thou our pilgrimage accurst
Alone canst bless.
The red sun scorches up our veins ;
The white moon makes us mad ;
Pitiless stars insult our pains
With clamour glad.
But Thou art shelter and defence
From them that rage and spoil.
Assain our lives with penitence !
Our souls assoil !
Amen.
