I	A
	-
THE NOVICE	B
	-
IT is near morning Ere the next night fall	C
I shall be made the bride of heaven Then home	D
To my still marriage chamber I shall come	E
And spouseless childless watch the slow years crawl	C
	-
These lips will never meet a softer touch	F
Than the stone crucifix I kiss no child	G
Will clasp this neck Ah virgin mother mild	G
Thy painted bliss will mock me overmuch	F
	-
This is the last time I shall twist the hair	H
My mother's hand wreathed till in dust she lay	I
The name her name given on my baptism day	I
This is the last time I shall ever bear	H
	-
O weary world O heavy life farewell	J
Like a tired child that creeps into the dark	K
To sob itself asleep where none will mark	K
So creep I to my silent convent cell	J
	-
Friends lovers whom I loved not kindly hearts	L
Who grieve that I should enter this still door	M
Grieve not Closing behind me evermore	M
Me from all anguish as all joy it parts	L
	-
Love whom alone I loved who stand'st far off	N
Lifting compassionate eyes that could not save	O
Remember this my spirit's quiet grave	O
Hides me from worldly pity worldly scoff	N
	-
'T was less thy hand than Heaven's which came between	P
And dashed my cup down See I shed no tears	Q
And if I think at all of vanished years	R
'T is but to bless thee dear for what has been	S
	-
My soul continually does cry to thee	T
In the night watches ghost like stealing out	U
From its flesh tomb and hovering thee about	U
So live that I in heaven thy face may see	T
	-
Live noble heart of whom this heart of mine	V
Was half unworthy Build up actions great	W
That I down looking from the crystal gate	W
Smile o'er our dead hopes urned in such a shrine	V
	-
Live keeping aye they spirit undefiled	W
That when we stand before our Master's feet	W
I with an angel's love may crown complete	W
The woman's faith the worship of the child	W
	-
Dawn solemn bridal morn ope bridal door	M
I enter My vowed soul may Heaven take	X
My heart its virgin spousal for thy sake	X
O love keeps sacred thus forevermore	M

II	A
	-
THE SISTER OF MERCY	T
	-
IS it then so Good friends who sit and sigh	A
While I lie smiling are my life's sands run	Y
Will my next matins hymned beyond the sun	Y
Mingle with those of saints and martyrs high	A
	-
Shall I with these my gray hairs turned to gold	W
My aged limbs new clad in garments white	W
Stand all transfigured in the angels' sight	W
Singing triumphantly that moan of old	W
	-
Thy will be done It was done O my God	W
Thou know'st when over grief's tempestuous sea	T
My broken wing d soul fled home to Thee	T
I writhed but never murmured at Thy rod	W
	-
It fell upon me stern at first then soft	W
As parent's kisses till the wound was healed	W
And I went forth a laborer in Thy field	W
They best can bind who have been bruis d oft	W
	-
And Thou wert pitiful I came heart sore	M
And drank Thy cup because earth's cups ran dry	A
Thou slew'st me not for that impiety	W
But madest the draught so sweet I thirst no more	M
	-
I came for silence heavy rest or death	Z
Thou gavest instead life peace and holy toil	A2
My sighing lips from sorrow didst assoil	A2
And fill with righteous thankfulness each breath	Z
	-
Therefore I praise Thee that Thou shuttest Thine ears	R
Unto my misery didst Thy will not mine	V
That to this length of days Thy hand divine	V
My feet from falling kept mine eyes from tears	Q
	-
Sisters draw near Hear my last words serene	P
When I was young I walked in mine own ways	B2
Worshipped not God sought not alone His praise	B2
So he cut down my gourd while it was green	P
	-
And then He o'er me threw His holy shade	W
That though no other mortal plants might grow	M
Mocking the beauty that was long laid low	M
I dwelt in peace and His commands obeyed	W
	-
I thank Him for all joy and for all pain	C2
For heal d pangs for years of calm content	W
For blessedness of spending and being spent	W
In His high service where all loss is gain	C2
	-
I bless Him for my life and for my death	Z
But most that in my death my life is crowned	W
Since I see there with angels gathering round	W
My angel Ay love thou hast kept thy faith	D2
	-
I mine The golden portals will not close	E2
Like those of earth between us Reach thy hand	W
No miserere sisters Chant out grand	W
Te Deum laudamus Now 't is all repose	F2
