The Mother’s and Sister’s part
She plays; she leads the choir
Of those whose purity of heart
Is passionate desire.
Above the blood-encrimsoned sea,
Dispelling doubt and fear
With her celestial minstrelsy,
Our Miriam doth cheer
The men whose homeward-going hearts
Are loyal to their King;
When all from her have learnt their parts,
Then shall creation sing!
