Lily of Eden's fragrant shade! Who can express the love that nurtured thee, so pure and sweet, making thy heart a shelter meet for Jesus' holy Dove! |
2. Ave Maria! Mother
blest, to whom, caressing and caressed, clings the eternal Child; favored beyond Archangels' dream, when first on thee with tendered gleam thy new-born Savior smiled |
3. Thou wept'st meek Maiden, Mother mild, thou wept'st upon thy sinless Child, thy very heart was riven: and yet, what mourning matron here would deem thy sorrows bought too dear by all on this side heaven! |
4. A Son that never did amiss, that never shamed his Mother's kiss, nor crossed her fondest prayer: e'en from the Tree he deigned to bow for her his agonized brow, her, his sole earthly care. |
