1.ONE BY ONE she plucked the petals
From the roses white and red
Plucked them with her dying fingers
Kissed and strewed them round her head

Ch:        Day by day Therese of Carmel
              Like the flower of Calvary
              Gave unto the stricken Jesus
              Perfume sweet of sympathy.

Of His foretold leper face
In her ears the ruthless jeering
Round the fairest of our race ……Ch.
