In Memoriam	A
Grief reigns now within the convent walls	B
And sadly float through its silent halls	B
The notes of a requiem solemn clear	C
Falling like wail on each listening ear	D
And with tearful eyes and features pale	E
With low bowed head and close drawn veil	E
To the convent church round a bier to kneel	F
The daughters of Marguerite Bourgeoys steal	F
	-
Scant is the mourning pomp displayed	G
Nor plumes nor hangings of gloomy shade	G
But rev rend prelates and priests are there	H
With crowds of mourners joining in prayer	H
Each sister s heart is filled with grief	I
To which faith alone can bring relief	I
Deploring the loss of that sainted nun	J
Friend mother and abbess all in one	J
	-
Yet why should sorrow fill thus each breast	K
That well loved one has entered her rest	K
To live in eternal cloudless light	L
To live in our memories blessed and bright	L
Her chair may be vacant her place unfilled	M
But her mission high was all fulfilled	M
And the thought of how well she did her part	N
Will ever dwell in each sister s heart	N
	-
Sixty one years passed in convent home	A
Amassing wealth for a world to come	A
Sixty one years of constant prayer	H
Of cloister duties fulfilled with care	H
Of gentle aid to each sister dear	C
Kind tender counsel sympathy s tear	H
Of high commune with her Maker known	O
Perchance to herself and to God alone	O
	-
Sixty one years oh think of it well	P
Since first she entered the convent cell	P
On her cheek youth s soft and roseate dyes	Q
Its radiant light in her cloudless eyes	Q
Turning from earth s alluring wiles	R
From worldly promptings from pleasure s smiles	R
From love s soft pleading look and tone	O
To give herself unto God alone	O
	-
Since then she has witnessed many a change	S
In the world around her startling strange	S
Her much loved Order growing in strength	T
Throughout America s breadth and length	T
Our young city stretching far and wide	U
Till it reaches Mount Royal s verdant side	U
Where fair as an Eden through leafy screen	V
Villa Maria is dimly seen	V
	-
Timeworn foreheads and brows of snow	W
Has the one we mourn seen in dust laid low	W
Fair girlish novice and nun professed	K
Quietly gathered to earth s dark breast	K
But with thoughts on heaven she through all	X
Patiently waited her Father s call	X
It came and now she lays gladly down	Y
Her long borne cross to take up her crown	Y
