A Song for All Maries.
Our Master lies asleep and is at rest; / His Heart has ceased to bleed, His Eye to weep. / The sun ashamed has dropt down in the west; / Our Master lies asleep.
Now we are they who weep, and trembling keep / Vigil, with wrung heart in a sighing breast, / While slow time creeps, and slow the shadows creep.
Renew Thy youth, as eagle from the nest; / O Master, who hast sown, arise to reap: / No cock-crow yet, no flush on eastern crest; / Our Master lies asleep.
