Dedicated,
with loving devotion
and humble veneration,
to the
Blessed Virgin Mary,
Queen of Heaven,
Source of our joy,
Portal of Paradise,
Mystical rose,
Fairest of maidens,
Mother of God,
And disciple who stood most faithfully
by the cross of your divine Son.
Quod si me lyricis vatibus inseres,
sublimi feriam sidera vertice.
—Horace
Poor melancholy bird—that all night long
Tell’st to the Moon thy tale of tender woe;
From what sad cause can such sweet sorrow flow,
And whence this mournful melody of song?
Thy poet’s musing fancy would translate
What mean the sounds that swell thy little breast,
When still at dewy eve thou leav’st thy nest,
Thus to the listening Night to sing thy fate?
Pale Sorrow’s victims wert thou once among,
Tho’ now released in woodlands wild to rove?
Say—hast thou felt from friends some cruel wrong,
Or died’st thou—martyr of disastrous
