SANTA FILOMENA Whene’er a noble deed is wrought Whene’er is spoken a noble thought. Our hearts, in glad suprise. To higher levels rise. The tidal wave of deeper souls Into our inmost being rolls, And lifts us unawares Out of all -rieaner cares. Honor to those whose words or deeds Thus help u ' s in our daily needs And by their overflow Raise us from what is low! Thusthought I, as by night read Of the great army of the dead. The trenches cold and damp, The starved and frozen camp, - The wounded from the battle plain, In treary hospital of pain. The cheerless corridors, The cold and stony floors, Lol in that house of misery A lady v ith a lamp I see Pass through the glimmering gloom, And flit from roo i to room. And slow, as in a dreara of bliss. The speechless sufferer turns to kiss Her shadow, as its falls Upon the darkening walls. As if a door in heaven should be Opened and closed suddenly. The vision came and went. The light shone and was spent. On England’s annals, through the long Hereafter of her speech and song. That light its rays shall cast From portals of the past, A lady with a la ip shall stand In the great history of the land, A noble type of good, Heroic womanhood. Nor even shall be wanting here The palm, the lily, and the spear, The symbols that of yore Saint Filomena bore.
