‘O mater Dei: memento mei’ Thus speaks the vesper bell Sweeter than tongue can tell. Throught the long-falling Shadows of evening Its softly tolling Voice still implores ‘O mater Dei: memento mei’ In all my living, My slipping and striving, Faith and denying: In my hard dying ‘O mater Dei: memento mei’ Though the clear bell tone Trembles to silence Still does its prayer Deep in the heart of hearts Ever reverberate, Sounding, resounding ‘O mater Dei: memento mei’ Thus speaks the vesper bell Sweeter than tongue can tell.
