The Indian Advocate
Vol XXI. ttober 1909 3?o. 10.
Sweet blessed beads! I would not part
With one of you for richest gem
That gleams in kingly diadem;
Ye know the history of my heart.
For I have told you every grief
In all my days of twenty years
And 1 have moistened you with tears
And in your decades found relief.
Ah! time has fled and friends have failed
And joys have died; but in my needs
Ye were my friends my blessed. beads!
And ye consoled when I wailed.
For many and many a time in grief
My weary fingers wandered round
Thy circled chain and always found
In some Hail Mary sweet relief.
How many a story you might tell
Of inner life to all unknown;
I trusted you and you alone
But ah! ye keep my secrets well.
Ye are the only chain I wear s
A sign that I am but the slave
In life in death beyond the grave
Of Jesus and His Mother fair.
Father Ryax.
