c jeniors Waiting in petal eel silence, Mystical Rose, for the soft unfolding of the Flower of the Rod , you knew the breathless wind, the wingless flight of the heart ' s impatience in lore ' s vigil. So many times we hare paused here at your feet like children, heedless of your eyes. Impatient to be gone, distracted by return, we oftentimes forgot that you were notching us, and waiting . . . When we har e said our last goodby and severed ties which will not mend (in spite of fond delusion ), help us to look into your face and find our welcome there.
