TO MARY IN HEAVEN.
Tower of Ivorydo you recall
How Gabriel stood beside you in the Dawn, And from his lips, in that tremendous morn, The message of the Most High God let fall?
Do ,you remember how your answer came, "Behold I am the handmaid of the Lord, Be it to me according to Thy Word," And that white dawn set all the worlds aflame?
Do you remember in that black midday How the three crosses stood against the sky, Teaching how man should live, and God should die, And you alone knew where the meaning lay ?
Now, in this bankruptcy of hope and love We women come to you, who depths of pain To heights have passed no other shall attain Pray for us to the great still God above.
Pray that He show us where the answer lies, Pray that we find in penitence and prayer .... The remedy for thisthe world's despair—r So \ shall the Easter sun at last arise. —Westminster Gazette.
