Blue thou art, intensely blue; Flower, whence came thy dazzling hue?
'Tis human actions paint the chart of time.
The Dove, on silver pinions, winged her peaceful way.
Fairest and best adorned is she Whose clothing is humility.
Prayer is the soul's sincere desire.
O thou, by whom we come to God, The Life, the Truth, the Way, The path of prayer Thyself hast trod- Lord teach us how to pray.
