A ROSARY, by                    
First Line: Thy rosary the flowers shall be
Last Line: In counting o'er thy beads, the flowers.


THY rosary the flowers shall be,
And buds and blossoms be to thee
The mystic beads the friar counts.

And they shall speak thy heart's delight,
Its love and joy by day and night.

Then make me thy confessor, dear,
And we will spend the summer hours
In counting o'er thy beads, the flowers.
