PRAYERS FOR THE LIVING

BY MARY W. PLUMMER

O SOUL of all souls whitest, what need’st thou

Of solemn masses who with angel choirs

Dost chant enraptured thy most pure desires,

And to the heavenly will, as erst on earth, dost bow?

What can I ask for thee, in halting prayer,

Heavy with grief, that could increase thy bliss?

What in thy perfectness can be amiss
