Rh Dimly discerned as morning draweth near

Spreading a radiant pall upon night's bier.

The blessed thing the Sign doth signify

They partly know, and are made glad thereby.

But more the Mother knows, and more she sees

Than soaring angel or than climbing saint;

Her heart familiar grown with mysteries

Of God's own working under love's constraint,

The remedy she knows for man's complaint.

The clouds are all beneath her, and above

The light of life, the radiancy of love.
