As round ev'ry world it goes—
MARIA AEGYPTIACA (Acta Sanctorum).
By the sacred spot immortal,
Where the Lord's remains they plac'd;
By the arm, that from the portal
Drove me back with warning haste;
By my forty years of lowly
Penance in a desert land;
By the farewell greetings holy
That I wrote upon the sand—
THE THREE.
Thou who ne'er thy radiant face
From the greatest sinners hides,
Thou who Thine atoning grace
