To ——

As some gay flow’ret brightly rears,
Its head beside the pilgrim’s way,
And charms away his flowing tears,
And glads him, with its blessed ray—
Sweet Mary—“Angel without wing,”
Heaven gave thee man’s rough path to cheer—
To bid the mourner smile and sing,
“At last, Earth is not wholly drear.”
