TO OUR LADY OF THE WAYSIDE 263

face with a look of joy to me, and said, " Go thy way in peace, child. The Lord be with thee. Thy work this night is done.

When thy last hour approaches, be not afraid, I shall not be far from thee."

With these last words in my ears, I awoke. My heart was beating fast, and somehow I felt happy, wondering at the vivid dream. Finally, I fell asleep, and-this time without a dream -I slept till morning.

TO OUR LADY OF THE WAYSIDE

OUR Lady of the Wayside, we hail thee with acclaim.

List f tom above,

While filial love Breathes forth thy holy name.

Ah, name most sweet!

Ah, name most meet!

Guide of our wandering feet,

Our Lady of the Wayside, wide be thy gracious fame.

Our Lady of the Wayside, by sainted heroes taught,

We seek the aid

For which they prayed

And not in vain they sought

That on our way

We may not stray,

But, through thee, save for aye,

Our Lady of the Wayside, the soul thy dear Son bought.

Our Lady of the Wayside! drear shadows fall around

Our path beside

Life's ebbing tide Oh, may thy-help abound

To guard from ill

And lead us still,

With step unfaltering, till, Our Lady of the Wayside, our home in Heaven be found.

JOHN HUGHES, S.J.
