Mother, your virgin beauty has compelled
The hands of masters famed adown the years;
The greatest names in art are linked with yours
In some Madonna praised on every tongue.
And I have seen them, Mother, and have sought
My Mother's eyes, her look, her very soul;
But ne'er those soft creations touched a chord
Within my heart
