She blessed me with her eyes again And love's cup did overfill As sweetly did her soul attain Its rest and peace within His will.
A mighty silence filled the room Her pained and laboured breathing stilled, A calm dispelled all mortal gloom, The heart with Mother's presence filled.
I kissed her head, her face, her hands Repeating all the while His name As into those majestic lands Departing as a final flame
Extinguished waxes brighter still, Towards Their Feet she quickly flew, Felt all life's pain to joy distil And by Their Grace the Quest renew.
