"From the watchers below a great cry still reaches to the Lady of Heaven, to Mary, the joy of the Gael, whose feet rest on Iona; Mary, clothed with the bright treasure of the northern seas, whose loveliness yet lights the cottage homes of the west; Mary, whose girdle is the love of Ireland, whose hair is bound with the stars that shine upon the holy lakes of Ireland."
