At matins bound, at Prime reviled
Condemned to death at Terce,
Nailed to the Cross at Sext.
At None His blessed Side they pierced,
They take Him down at Vesper-Tide,
In the grave at Compline lay,
Who henceforth bids His Church observe
These sevenfold hours always
Of all my studies and years with the breviary, I never saw this poem. Wow and thanks. I wrote a poem (I am a published poet and have won some awards in the past)on the seven hours of the office. I should dig it out of the box.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this.
