AMPHORA XI QUEEN of Heaven, who didst conceive The ALMIGHTY without sin, Give us the rapture to receive Thy sinless love within !

AMPHORA I O flower have I. O Queen, receive This sere and sodden leaf ! O Mary maiden, I believe ! Help Thou mine unbelief ! No sails have I. The tempests reave My wreck on Error’s reef.

I kneel 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 ea…
