GRAINS OF GOLD
; : THE MAY PROCESSION. What is clearer, what is dearer, than the ■ children's voices singing, As they come with banners waving, as they ' , • come with garlands gay, Where the waking buds are breaking and the tender grass is springing, „ In Our Lady's month of beauty, in Our Lady's month of May!
What is'purer or demurer than the fresh .young flower-like faces (Ah, no flowers in all the meadows are so gracious or so sweet!) As advancing, softly glancing, through the j fragrant woodland places, They approach the shrine of Mary, there to ;tv; kneel at Mary's feet!
i What is fairer, what is rarer, than Our f "ready's May procession ! MA is nearer to a foretaste of a more than . Earthly : bliss; '" - _ •=■• •fo,xno pleasureah, no treasure, of our later life's -possession, ; w Can compare with all the sweetness and the ". - innocence of this! ' - -v-~ .
