MADONNA, LADY WHOM WITH HEAVENLY FEAR by HENRY PATMORE

Last Line: Another just as softly hangs allied
Subject(s): MARY, MOTHER OF JESUS;

Madonna, lady whom with heavenly fear
I love (so children do their mother dear)
O hear my prayer, my lady often stand
As now, not far, where shadows shew your hand.
Your face I do not see ; I see the night
Assumes your shape and shews your hand for white.
And sweetly know how, on your other side,
Another just as softly hangs allied.
