MATER DEI by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: AS FAITH, A PILGRIM, SEEKS THE TOMB
Last Line: WOULD LOWLY REVERENCE PAY.

As Faith, a pilgrim, seeks the tomb
Where once in Death's eclipsing gloom
Her Hope o'erclouded lay;
So Love unto the blessed womb
Where slept her Life's unbudded bloom
Would lowly reverence pay.
