Work rating: Low


When these men must go alone Sans an absolution, When their sins are heavy as lead, Thou Thyself will lift the head ; Thou, High Priest, wilt whisper low, Te Absolvo! ere they go. When there is no sacrifice, Bread and Wine for Thy disguise, Come Thou in the Spirit then; As at Agincourt our men With desire a blade of grass Served as Eucharist and Mass. Lay Thyself the oil on lips, Limbs and eyes, before the eclipse-- As once Magdalen did to Thee-- And so speed them, safe and free, To lie down with Thee a while And to waken to Thy smile. They shall sit down at the Feast Where Thou are Sacrament and Priest.
