- The Spring with vineleafed arms shall twine,
Each hillocked resting-place
And Summer's roses low incline
With flushed and dewy face;
Fair daisies, rayed like stars, shall rise
From their enhallowed dust,
And look up to protecting skies,
With smiles of sunny trust.

- Two favored sisters of our faithful train,
Far more than all the choicest gifts obtain:
The sweetest lyres in all the tuneful earth
To music wake at their enhallowed birth.

More precious than all most-enhallowed things:
What has been written must now be fulfilled:
Amen. Amen to what the future brings.
