Portuguese village in beauty and innocence,
There the three blessed shepherd children,
Lucia,Francisco,Jacinta rose to prominence,
By tending sheep as their shepherd in heaven.
"Death rather than sin"Dominic Savio declared,
"I am in heaven"he said to his sad father,
Alas!at the age of fourteen he died,
Only to reach the great Heavenly Father.
Caught in the snow-storm the poor Lucy Gray,
Found no way with her staggering small feet,
Never returned home even at break of day,
Poet deplored,"In heaven we all shall meet".
God's blessed and saintly children,
In greater glory,"The Jewels of Heaven".
