AN ELEGY, FOR FATHER ANSELM, OF THE ORDER OF REFORMED CISTERCIANS, GUEST-MASTER AND PARISH PRIEST
“Et pastores erant in regione eadem vigilantes”
By Helen Parry Eden
You to whose soul a death propitious brings
Its Heaven, who attain a windless bourne
Of sanctity beyond all sufferings,
It is not ours to mourn;
For you, to whom the earth could nothing give,
Who knew no hint of our inspired pride,
