Poetry--Our Lady of the Snow
A lovely poem from a very nice site
Our Lady of the Snow
By S. M. R.Sum nivis semita solis pedibus Dei.
--Apocryphal Gospels.O path of whiteness for the feet of God,
O path wherein Divinity hath trod!
No stain of earth did thy fair body know,
Thou whiter than Mt. Selmon's trackless snow.
Thy crystal beauty blended with the tide
That poured for us from Christ's spear-riven side.
Transformed of Love, God's path of virgin snow,
Thou art the channel whence all blessings flow.
O Mother-Maid, O Heart of purity,
Be thou our way to thy dear Son and thee!
Source: The Ave Maria, August 5, 1905.
