AVE ATQUE VALE, by             Poet's Biography
First Line: Where wast thou, little song
Last Line: To god again.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb


Where wast thou, little song,
That hast delayed so long
To come to me?
"Mute in the mind of God,
Till where thy feet had trod,
I followed thee."

Farewell! I go my way;
And if in long delay
Thou must remain,
Forget not, 'tis the track
We trod that leads us back
To God again.
