SAN BERNARDINO: CHAPEL OF SAN GABRIEL by AMELIA WOODWARD TRUESDELL

First Line: LONG ONE STRAYS WITH DREAMFUL FANCIES THAT THEY HEART
Last Line: AS IF FAITH WERE SHAKEN IN THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD.
Subject(s): CHURCHES; MISSIONS & MISSIONARIES; SAINTS; CATHEDRALS;

Long one strays with dreamful fancies that thy heart may whisper low
Some strong thought for hopeful living from that life of long ago;

But thy desolation palls one with a chill and nameless dread,
As if faith were shaken in the resurrection of the dead.
