English text
‘O mater Dei: memento mei’
Thus speaks the vesper bell
Sweeter than tongue can tell.
Throught the long-falling
Shadows of evening
Its softly tolling
Voice still implores
‘O mater Dei: memento mei’
In all my living,
My slipping and striving,
Faith and denying:
In my hard dying
‘O mater Dei: memento mei’
Though the clear bell tone
Trembles to silence
Still does its prayer
Deep in the heart of hearts
Ever reverberate,
Sounding, resounding
‘O mater Dei: memento mei’
Thus speaks the vesper bell
Sweeter than tongue can tell.
