Excerpt from Ave MariaNoble type Of sweetest womanhood! O mother-maid who knew nor shame nor sin, With heart so pure that those who search therein Can find but that which is supremely good, Thou hast' not vainly thro' the long years stood Model Of chastity, nor hath it been Without God's plan that thou shouldst sweetly win Souls unto Him who shed His precious blood.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
