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