Fortunati ambo si quid mea
carmina possunt. ÆNEID
LET not Thy face averted be, Though ours for sin have swerved from Thee- Thy love, 0 Lord, unprized - Nor turn with eyes upbraiding more, But glance forgiving as before On hearts now agonized! O beam benignant once again On fleeting lives and wills of men In Passion's ruffling view - Where murky waves in currents fierce Repel faint lights that strive to pierce, May Thine come changeless through! O face illumed of Olivet, shine - Full in the radiance Divine Thy light transmuting pour - That on dimmed souls Thy rays may rest, As on Veronica's Veil impressed, Avert Thee nevermore! |
