| Virgin a little Spanish, with a pale face
|
| With wild clear eyes, azure burning ivory
|
| You rock, half sad and half terrified
|
| The Strange Holiness of a Stillborn Jesus
|
| Your shawl is lost in long folds of satin
|
| Moirée ebony crimson with bloody crumplings
|
| In the damp half-light of the old oratories
|
| The whistle of the wind for unique offertory
|
| Our Lady of Fools
|
| Mother of the Seven Sorrows
|
| Great Weeping Madonna
|
| Tonight pray for us
|
| You are the black shadow which, at dusk
|
| When the last soldier returned to camp
|
| Bless the horrible harvest of the battlefield
|
| Calms the dying with gaping entrails
|
| And close the eyes of the already rotting dead
|
| Implacable companion of brutal demise
|
| Serene, kneeling in the mud of carnage
|
| You pray under already stormy skies
|
| Our Lady of Sorrows
|
| Mother of the Seven Sufferings
|
| Forgive our trespasses
|
| And with us be Queen
|
| You are the candle at the old man's bedside
|
| Slowly dying, foolish and haggard
|
| In a dreary, lonely, grim hospital
|
| And don't know if he should call the nurse
|
| You are the soft, hushed voice that whispers
|
| In the ear of the prisoner being tortured
|
| “Soon my dear child will end the torture “And he, in a hiccup, howls: “ora pro nobis! |
| "
|
| Our Lady of the Chasms
|
| mother of agonies
|
| Be the shining star
|
| In the eye of those who suffer
|
| queen of the insane, queen of nightmares
|
| Deserted asylums, morgues, places of death
|
| Sweaty awakenings in the middle of the night
|
| Anxieties, fears and neurasthenias
|
| Unhealthy fantasies, chimerical larvae
|
| Profanities shouted in hysterical language
|
| Pray for us ! |
| Pray for us ! |
| Pray for us ! |
