CANTO POR EL QUE VIVEN LOS DIFUNTOS: SOEUR MARIE KEYROUZ

 

 

 

Sœur Marie Keyrouz - hymne à la Sainte Vierge - Acathistos - Ave Maria en Langue Arabe 

 

 An ancient song,reciting, ending, 

Once gazing toward thee, Mother of All,

 Musing, seeking themes fitted for thee, 

Accept for me, thou saidst, the elder ballads, 

And name for me before you goes each ancient poet

 (...) 

Old chants, Egyptian priests, and those of Ethiopia, 

... 

The Biblic books and phophets, and deep idyls of the Nazarene, 

... 

 Darting their mighty masterful eyes forward at thee, 

Thou! with as now thy bending neck and head, with courteous hand and 

word, ascending, 

Thou! pausing a moment, drooping thine eyes upon them, blent with 

their music, 

Well pleased, accepting all, curiously prepared for by them, 

Thou enterest at thy entrance porch.
