There was a Priest at Philae,
Tongue-tied, feeble, and old;
And the daily prayer to the Virgin.
Was all the Office he could.
The others were ill-remembered,
Mumbled and hard to hear;
But to Mary, the two-fold Virgin,
Always his voice rang clear.
And the congregation mocked him,
And the weight of the years he bore,
And they sent word to the Bishop.
That he should not serve them more.
(Never again at the Offering.
When the Bread and the Body are one:
Oh, never the picture of Mary.
Watching him serve her Son!).
Kindly and wise was the Bishop.
Unto the Priest said he: -
“Patience till thou art stronger,
And keep meantime with me.
