The Thorn

（For the Rev¹. Charles L. O'Donnell, C. S. C.）

The garden of God is a radiant place, And every flower has a holy face： Our Lady like a lily bends above the cloudy sod, But Saint Michael is the thorn on the rosebush of God.

David is the song upon God's lips, And Our Lady is the goblet² that He sips³： And Gabriel's the breath of His command, But Saint Michael is the sword in God's right hand.

The Ivory Tower is fair to see, And may her walls encompass⁴ me！ But when the Devil comes with the thunder of his might, Saint Michael, show me how to fight！
