S. A. FROM 'THE AVE MARIA, ' 1896. WHAT were the feet of centuries, O Pyrenees, Unto thy rocky heart, so cold and still? The Gallic soldiers and the men of Rome, The Vandal hordes that pillaged hearth and home, Left thee unmoved. But 'neath the touch of Maiden Mary's feet, Triumph complete : Thy heart knew glad creation's primal thrill, And every vein that laced the mountain side, In throbbing pulses of a living tide, Our Lady's presence proved. O happy Grotto, happy Stream, the dower Of Mary's... power : With healing dost thou soul and body fill : Would that our hearts were her sweet resting-place Our rock-bound hearts the shrine of peerless grace For Mary, our Beloved. 250 MAGDALEN ROCK VIII. THE BATTLE OF LEPANTO, 7TH OCTOBER, 1571. MAGDALEN ROCK. FROM 'AVE MARIA, ' 1892. A THICKENING cloud of smoke the sun looked through, And frenzied cries were heard and moan and prayer ; And standards old and royal ensigns flew From all the lands of Southern Europe there ; Fluttering they flew, fanned by the noon-day breeze, From galleys tall and stately argosies.
