[Lovely, purgatorial blooms]
Lovely, purgatorial bloomsGrowing on the sides of tombs,
Lest our lips fall from their use—
Lovely things of Ursula,
Christ's refreshing fall on her!
Kalemire must be blest,
And his spirit fill with rest;
Equal grace there sure must be
For his sister Hilary;
And for Venus—“Jesus, pray
That there fall no shadow grey
On our Venus!”—Lovely blooms,
Growing on the sides of tombs,
Lest our lips fall to disuse!
