Madonna of Vilnius |
Madonna of Vilnius, Ostra Brama, formerly Poland "O Holy Maid, who Czestochowa's shrine Dost guard and on the Pointed Gateway shine And watchest Nowogrodek's pinnacle! As Thou didst heal me by a miracle (For when my weeping mother sought Thy power, I raised my dying eyes, and in that hour My strength returned, and to Thy shrine I trod For life restored to offer thanks to God), So by a miracle Thou 'lt bring us home." —A. Mickiewicz, Pan Tadeusz, transl. Kenneth R. Mackenzie
