The Visitation

（For Louise Imogen Guiney）

There is a wall of flesh before the eyes Of John, who yet perceives and hails his King. It is Our Lady's painful bliss¹ to bring Before mankind the Glory of the skies. Her cousin feels her womb's sweet burden rise And leap with joy, and she comes forth² to sing, With trembling mouth, her words of welcoming. She knows her hidden God, and prophesies³.

Saint John, pray for us, weary souls that tarry Where life is withered⁴ by sin's deadly breath. Pray for us, whom the dogs of Satan harry⁵, Saint John, Saint Anne, and Saint Elizabeth. And, Mother Mary, give us Christ to carry Within our hearts, that we may conquer death.
