'Mary Mother who rulest heaven, Send me a sign if I be forgiven By the woman who so loved me.' A white dove out of the coffin flew; Earl Harold's mouth it kist; He fell on his face, wherever he stood; And the white dove carried his soul to God Or ever the bearers wist.

Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, Thou stillest, them."
