Quiet form of silent nun	A
What has given you to my inward eyes	B
What has marked you unknown one	A
In the throngs of centuries	C
That mine ears do listen through	D
This old master's melody	E
That expresses you	D
This admired simplicity	E
Tender with a serious wit	F
And two words the name of it	F
'Soeur Monique '	G
	-
And if sad the music is	H
It is sad with mysteries	C
Of a small immortal thing	I
That the passing ages sing	I
Simple music making mirth	J
Of the dying and the birth	J
Of the people of the earth	J
	-
No not sad we are beguiled	K
Sad with living as we are	L
Ours the sorrow outpouring	I
Sad self on a selfless thing	I
As our eyes and hearts are mild	K
With our sympathy for Spring	I
With a pity sweet and wild	K
For the innocent and far	L
With our sadness in a star	L
Or our sadness in a child	K
	-
But two words and this sweet air	M
Soeur Monique	N
Had he more who set you there	M
Was his music dream of you	D
Of some perfect nun he knew	D
Or of some ideal as true	D
	-
And I see you where you stand	O
With your life held in your hand	O
As a rosary of days	P
And your thoughts in calm arrays	P
And your innocent prayers are told	Q
On your rosary of days	P
And the young days and the old	Q
With their quiet prayers did meet	R
When the chaplet was complete	R
	-
Did it vex you the surmise	B
Of this wind of words this storm of cries	B
Though you kept the silence so	S
In the storms of long ago	S
And you keep it like a star	L
Of the evils triumphing	S
Strong for all your perfect conquering	S
Silenced conqueror that you are	L
And I wonder at your peace I wonder	T
Would it trouble you to know	S
Tender soul the world and sin	U
By your calm feet trodden under	T
Long ago	S
Living now mighty to win	U
And your feet are vanished like the snow	S
	-
Vanished but the poet he	E
In whose dream your face appears	V
He who ranges unknown years	V
With your music in his heart	W
Speaks to you familiarly	X
Where you keep apart	W
And invents you as you were	T
And your picture O my nun	A
Is a strangely easy one	A
For the holy weed you wear	M
For your hidden eyes and hidden hair	M
And in picturing you I may	Y
Scarcely go astray	Y
	-
O the vague reality	E
The mysterious certainty	E
O strange truth of these my guesses	Z
In the wide thought wildernesses	Z
Truth of one divined of many flowers	Z
Of one raindrop in the showers	Z
Of the long ago swift rain	A2
Of one tear of many tears	Z
In some world renowned pain	A2
Of one daisy 'mid the centuries of sun	A
Of a little living nun	A
In the garden of the years	Z
	-
Yes I am not far astray	Y
But I guess you as might one	A
Pausing when young March is grey	Y
In a violet peopled day	Y
All his thoughts go out to places that he knew	D
To his child home in the sun	A
To the fields of his regret	B2
To one place i' the innocent March air	M
By one olive and invent	C2
The familiar form and scent	C2
Safely a white violet	F
Certainly is there	M
	-
Soeur Monique remember me	E
'Tis not in the past alone	D2
I am picturing you to be	E
But my little friend my own	D2
In my moment pray for me	E
For another dream is mine	E2
And another dream is true	D
Sweeter even	U
Of the little ones that shine	E2
Lost within the light divine	E2
Of some meekest flower or you	D
In the fields of Heaven	A
