Sound never a trumpet.Only let her nameGo up like flocks of birds from every land.Fire no salute.Her fragrance shall possessThe earth like arms,like eloquence of eyes.Let there be silence,that no foe may guessHow Mary comes to wreck his careful wars.Deep in the very tents of battlesmoke, Her gentle plot is sprung;and we are doomedTo watch our terrors melt before her gaze. Oh,write her name for jubilee uponOur drearinessl until the heart recalls How we were meant for sun and song and splendor,And earth remembers how it was paradise. Light her pure name to bonfires on the rubbleOf earth's despair;for,in our darkest seasonOf bitterness and blood,there sounds no trumpet,But Mary laughing with her little Child.
