        And all I held dear
        In my deepest affection;
        Ay, all that was near
        To my heart’s recollection.
Let me in, I am failing, I beg, I implore,
        I can bear no more.”

“How was it that thou thy father lost?”
“He was slain, and I saw the deed.”
“How was it that thou thy lover lost?”
“My father he slew, and I saw the deed.
        I wept so bitterly
        When he roughly would woo me,
        He at last set me free,
        And forbore to pursue me.
Let me in, the horror my soul doth fill,
        That I love him still.”

Chorus of nuns within the lighted church
        Come child, come bride,
        To God’s own side,
        From grief find rest
        On Jesus’ breast.
        Rest thy burden of sorrow
        On Horeb’s height;
        Like the lark, with the morrow
        Shall thy soul take flight.
