AMPHORA
II
LL hail to Mary wandering
Adored by shepherd and by Mage !
The fury of the ruthless king
Inspires Her desert pilgrimage.
O sorrow of pure 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.
