One fervent Hail Mary with
love and thought said,
is better than volumes
of prayers poorly read.
If time and one’s duties
prevent a long prayer,
Just say one Hail Mary
With fervour and care.
The Golden Hail Mary
which from the heart springs,
the greatest of blessings
from Mary it brings.
And we will never know
‘Til before Mary’s throne,
how that daily Hail Mary
brought us to her home
