《The Rosary》歌词

[00:00:02] The hours I spent with Thee, Dear Heart!

[00:00:12] Are as a string of pearls to me,

[00:00:21] I count them over, every one apart,

[00:00:29] My rosary, my rosary . . .

[00:00:39] Each hour a pearl, each pearl a prayer,

[00:00:48] To still a heart in absence wrung,

[00:00:57] I tell each bead unto the end,

[00:01:03] And there a cross is hung . . .

[00:01:11] O memories that bless and burn,

[00:01:20] O barren gain and bitter loss,

[00:01:28] I kiss each bead and strive at last to learn,

[00:01:36] To kiss the cross, Sweet Heart,

[00:01:48] To kiss the cross . . .
