There was a little maiden <br />In blue and silver drest, <br />She sang to God in Heaven <br />And God within her breast. <br /> <br />It flooded me with pleasure, <br />It pierced me like a sword, <br />When this young maiden sang: 'My soul <br />Doth magnify the Lord.' <br /> <br />The stars sing all together <br />And hear the angels sing, <br />But they said they had never heard <br />So beautiful a thing. <br /> <br />Saint Mary and Saint Joseph, <br />And Saint Elizabeth, <br />Pray for us poets now <br />And at the hour of death.<br /><br />Alfred Joyce Kilmer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-singing-girl/
