OFFICIUM PARVULUM

OFFICIUM PARVULUM [1]

Look into our little houses

in the darklight hours

of morn-singing and of eve-singing

in our love-lighted bowers,
Alma Redemptoris Mater. [2]

In the little convents

in the little towns

in the little patches of peace

all far from fools and clowns.
Ave Regina Coelorum. [3]

In patches of peace at singing

see the Mother among us.

Crosspatches of prayer!

But our Lady to help us.
Salve Regina Mater. [4]

Ladypatches of prayer at praising,

hear Mary among us,

our voice and our song,

Magnificat-flower lifting petals above us.
Regina Coeli Laetare. [5]
