First Line: In a little chapel lowly / kneels a child
Last Line: Of our lady of the rosary.
Subject(s): Angels; Prayer; Saints
In a little chapel lowly,
Kneels a child, saying slowly
Prayers to Mary, Mother, Queen;
And as she pauses once or more
To meditate -- she seems to soar
To far-off regions still unseen --
To our Lady of the Rosary.
Each prayer the lisping lips recite
A little angel in its flight
Plucks as a rosebud to entwine
And twine again into a wreath --
A fitting gift to take beneath
His wing to lay before the shrine
Of our Lady of the Rosary.
