    Poems
    To The Queen of October

    As October evenings darken
    Harken Mother! to my prayer
    Bid my gloomy bodings vanish
    Banish doubt and dark despair.
    Take an orphan neath Thy mantle
    Gentle Mary! Queen Divine.
    Make me Thine let nothing ever
    Sever Thee from me and mine.

    Mother! hear a soldier fallen
    Calling from the battle ground
    Mong the wounded and the dying
    Lying scattered all around
    Mother! I am weak and weary
    Mary! Don’t from me depart
    Mother, Mother don’t forsake me
    Take me to Thy tender Heart.
