Text: Edgar Allan Poe, "Hymn" (J), The Works of the Late Edgar Allan Poe, 1850, 2:13





[page 13, continued:]

HYMN.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AT morn — at noon — at twilight dim —
Maria! thou hast heard my hymn!
In joy and wo — in good and ill —
Mother of God, be with me still!
When the Hours flew brightly by,
And not a cloud obscured the sky,
My soul, lest it should truant be,
Thy grace did guide to thine and thee ;
Now, when storms of Fate o'ercast
Darkly my Present and my Past,
Let my Future radiant shine
With sweet hopes of thee and thine!









Notes:

This poem was originally part of the tale "Morella," but was removed from later versions.
