“The Chosen Flame”

Accompanying Arctic winter snows,
Blistering wind that fiercely blows;
Whose candle they dim, no one knows,
Bar those wearing angelic clothes.

When our Creator came to claim,
Our beloved’s luminous flame,
She was at peace and cast no blame,
For evermore her memory would remain.
