| 307. Missa Viatoris |
| By Arthur Shearly Cripps (b. 1869) |
| |
(In dread of Famine)
HERE, Pan, on grey rock slab we set for Thee | |
| Thy Feast—the White Cake and the Red in Cup— | |
| Shepherd and Lamb, we, lost goats, offer up | |
| In pastoral wise Thine own Divinity. | |
| |
| The scared moon dips, the hardy sun comes up | 5 |
| To spy our Secret from yon cloudy hill: | |
| O Pan that Thou by cloud and sun mayst fill | |
| Our hills with food, we lift Thy Cake and Cup. | |
| |
| Heart of all good in men and beasts and earth, | |
| Here on the hill our hearts, we lift them up: | 10 |
| Life-Blood and Flesh—White Cake and Red in Cup— | |
| We break and pour Thee our drought and dearth! | |
