Lady Una, pure and saint-like, Wondrous mother, perfect wife! O'er my heart there falls a shadow, From the deep calm of thy life. And I bow my head in homage To thy matron beauty fair, For I know some angel braided Back the dark waves of thy hair. Surely seraphs, straying outward, Underneath the stars at night, Kissed thy lips and forehead, lingering With a thrill of deep delight; Leaving there a peace so holy, Mortal hearts grow hushed in awe At thy wisdom pure and lowly, Type of God's most perfect law. Lady Una, child-like kneeling, At thy feet I breathe a prayer, — Let but once thy hands in blessing Gently fall upon my hair; So shall I, who blindly traverse Paths which angel-feet have trod, Sometimes see from far the glory Of the far-off home of God.
