BEACON LIGHT by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: SISTER BLOSSOMS, YE HAVE KEPT
Last Line: HIS BEACON IN THE DARKNESS SHONE.
Subject(s): FLOWERS; JESUS CHRIST;
Sister blossoms, ye have kept
So near the Master while ye slept
That, as upon the martyr's face,
His light celestial we trace
In yours, revealing dreams that He,
Asleep upon the stormy sea,
Beheld, as though your light alone
His beacon in the darkness shone.
