…s were drunken as with wine When, shimmering from the throne divine, The soul of Mary fixed its ray Within the meek and maiden clay. The stars in mightier music rolled ; The sun achieved a gladder gold ; The moon less pure acclaimed the morn ; —Mary immaculate is born. Rejoice, O children of the earth, At your salvation brought to birth ! This is the perfect period. Mary is born that shall bear GOD. Amen. T 3
…ilderness, 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. W 52
…e incense column subtly steams Up past the palaces of dreams :— To Mary, Hail for ever ! Hail to the Virgin, Hail ! the sea Is one ; the stars divide and pale Before Thy single ecstasy Of light, O moon of majesty ! Hail to Thee ! Hail ! All hail ! Amen. 44
…ire is exalted in thee ! Lighten the darkness, and herald the daylight, and waken the sea ! Flame, O flame ! Crown Her, O crown Her with Stars as with flowers for a virginal gaud !

Mary crowned ! Amen. 14
… the Child Divine Drank in the starry milk and wine. Three magians Chaldean Have bowed their royal knees Before the Galilean, The GOD of stars and seas, And tasted all the fervent grace That shone from Mary’s maiden face. T 56
… as death’s iceberg threatens me, Sin’s fog, Satanic spite that bars, That I may keep these eyes on Thee, Star on the sea that blots the stars ! Amen. T 6
…nce. For all the blessed blood that poured Out of Thine heart at sorrow’s sword Is borne in GOD’s cherubic cars About the sky to make us stars. We in the world of woe who stray Lift up our hearts to Thee and pray : Turn all our pain to virgin might, And all our sorrow into light ! Amen. T 29
…n, And men, the children of the sun, Turn them to sleep ; but I awake For Mary’s sake—for Mary’s sake. And while these eyes outwatch the stars My soul runs through the golden bars. O clusters that with warp and woof Make up Fate’s web, I stand aloof. The child of Mary stands apart Both from the terror and the dart. No fear, no evil can engage The knight of Mary’s pilgrimage. So in this still and solemn hour Of vigil we proclaim Thy power. Thy benediction, like a balm, Unite our ardour with our calm, And ere the black night pale to grey, Discove…
…; I saw a wonder in the house of heaven. Behold a woman girded with the sun Beneath whose feet the liquid moon did run ! Twelve were the stars that crowned that shining head Whereon the HOLY GHOST His silence shed, That so Her womb a SAVIOUR should environ To rule the nations with a rod of iron.

Still make to bud the barren rod, And bring our spirits back to GOD ! Amen. W 5
…th bleeding feet about this world of woes, And prostrate casts his aching diadem Before Thy shrine, O mild and mystic Rose ! Him all the stars and all the sky begem, For Thou art all the radiance of them. The lean scourged body and the tortured brain Glow with the light of Thy celestial rain. Thou art the secret of the pure keen pleasure Whose fountain springs from the abyss of pain. Thee do we praise in many a merry measure Who art of GOD most high the single treasure. He hath ten jewels in His holy House ; All these be mystic, clear and lumin…
