by Edgar Allan Poe (1809 - 1849)
Hymn
Language: English
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.
