"O CLEMENS, O PIA, O DULCIS...”




"O CLEMENS, O PIA, O DULCIS...”[1]

Sweeter than honey and the honey-comb
the Fruit you gave us for our daily bread;
and when, like little ones, we cry for sweets,
we need but reach to you and we are fed.

Then honey-sweet, O Mother, cling to us
as golden beauty to the Son-bright air,
that we may leave your love on all we touch -
the traces of your sweetness everywhere!

Sister M Philip, CSC
Sign.  August 1956



[1] O clement, O loving, O sweet (Virgin Mary)
