UPROSE THE TWO MARYS.
Uprose the two Marys,
Two hours ere day,
And they went to the temple
To keene and to pray.
There came in the angel
With candle so bright,
"All hail to thee, Mary,"
Said God full of light.
"And dost thou forget it,
Thy passion and pain,
And dost thou forget it,
Thy slaying by men?
"And dost thou forget it,
The spear and the threat,
Which no children of Adam
Could ever forget?"
Remember me, children
Of Adam and Eve,
And the heavens of God
Ye shall surely receive.
