To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


'Midst this gray dusk watches still a group of saints on pillars old, Faces dull and garments battered, names and sorrows long untold.
Stands San Gabriel, the patron, high above the other shrines, E'en from face of faded statue, still some angel brightness shines; He most honored messenger of all that stood before the throne, When God would, unto His creatures, speak some purpose of His own.
He th' interpreter of visions to the captive prophet sent; He who sat at Eden's portal, whence our "ling
...'ring parents" went; Who came to the second Woman to announce the time as near, When through her, th' Avenger promised to the first Eve should appear, Whose high message, "Hail! thou blessed in divine maternity, " Lifted to the throne in heaven, pains accursed at Eden's tree, Stands with ample gathered wings, as if he still were charged to greet, With perpetual Aves^ maid who stands enshrined at his feet.
Simple priestess-maid Judean ! who should in thy humble place, Deify to all the ages, mother love and mother grace; Round this dreary shrine thy roses blossom in the month of May; Light this gloom pale votive tapers, when is kept thy festal day; Then the choir's soft Incarnatus trembles round thy vestal shrine, As the new hope of the promise fluttered in thy soul divine; And the eve's Magnificat breaks forth in glad triumphant tone, As thy faith received the glory of the promise as thine own.
