For An Annunciation, Early German

The lilies stand before her like a screen 
Through which, upon this warm and solemn day, 
God surely hears. For there she kneels to pray 
Who wafts our prayers to God?Mary the Queen 
She was Faith's Present, parting what had been 
From what began with her, and is for aye. 
On either hand, God's twofold system lay: 
With meek bowed face a Virgin prayed between.
So prays she, and the Dove flies in to her, 
And she has turned. At the low porch is one 
Who looks as though deep awe made him to smile. 
Heavy with heat, the plants yield shadow there; 
The loud flies cross each other in the sun; 
And the aisled pillars meet the poplar-aisle.
