Hymn

AT morn --- at noon --- at twilight dim ---
Maria! thou hast heard my hymn!
In joy and woe --- in good and ill ---
Mother of God, be with me still!
When the Hours flew brightly by,
And not a cloud obscured the sky,
My soul, lest it should truant be,
Thy grace did guide to thine and thee ;
Now, when storms of Fate o'ercast
Darkly my Present and my Past,
Let my Future radiant shine
With sweet hopes of thee and thine!
