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;
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.
