Poem by Marion Angus

A Breton Woman Sings

On resurrection morning
When the Just are glorified,
We shall not dare to look at the saints
Walking side by side

Since in Our Lady’s chapel
I bade my candles burn
For a kiss—a cry—a welcome,
A bonnie boat’s return.

And prayed not for salvation
Nor for my spirit’s food,
Only—“ My man’s a sinner,
Let Mary make him good.”

And that on Judgement morning
When the Just are glorified,
We two may creep to her white feet,
And kneel there side byside.
