I will raise the hearth-fire 
As Mary would. 
The encirclement of Bride and of Mary 
On the fire, and on the floor, 
And on the household all. 
Who are they on the bare floor ? 
John and Peter and Paul. 
Who are they by my bed ? 
The lovely Bride and her Fosterling. 
Who are those watching over my sleep ? 
The fair loving Mary and her Lamb. 
Who is that anear me ? 
The King of the sun, He himself it is. 
Who is that at the back of my head ? 
The Son of Life without beginning, without time.
