Classic and Contemporary Poetry
AT VESPERS, by JARED VAN WAGENEN JR.
First Line: In the shadowy aisle she kneeling
Last Line: Watch the maiden at her prayer.
Subject(s): Prayer
First Line: In the shadowy aisle she kneeling
Last Line: Watch the maiden at her prayer.
Subject(s): Prayer
IN the shadowy aisle she kneeling
While the organ soft is pealing,
And the notes come faintly stealing
Through the heavy-scented air.
From the windows manifold,
Blazoned there in blue and gold,
Heroes, martyrs, saints of old
Watch the maiden at her prayer.
