Vol. XIV. OCTOBER 1902. No. 10
THE ROSARY.
In olden days long past and dead
The Orientals wove a crown
Of roses sweet to deck the head
Of men and gods of high renown. t .
And Christians too their garlands wove
For Mary's brow in crypt and shrine
Transferring thus from pagan Jove
The homage due our Queen Divine.
- i
But soon a wreath of prayer and praise
More preciolis far than aught of gold
Replaced this crown of ancient days .
Among the nations of "The Fold."
At length this wreath of flow'rs sublime
Which Christians wove on bended knee
Encircled ev'ry race and clime
And hence its name The Rosary.
A Croivti of Rosea such we call
This chaplet of Our Lady fair
Whose mystic beads so well recall
The saving truths we speak in prayer.
No other prayer ascends on high
More redolent of hope and love;
No better shield when danger 's nigh
No surer guide to heaven above!
It changes sinners' evil ways M
vim cumiuii'i in iiie iiuur ui si rue.
A peace it brings to all our day?
And happiness at close of life.
My Ros'ry Beads! my faithful friend!
Consoler in my lonely hours!
Be thou my solace to the end
Thou sweetest rose of all the flowers!
Rev. P. IT. McCaulev.
