Of a heart to be given�察 � And all in vain�察。�See�察�her cheek is flushing�察�As if 

with   pain�撮�   He   telleth   of   sorrow�察  �Regrets   and   fears�察  �And   the   few   vain 

pleasures We buy with tears�察�And the bitter lesson We learn from years。 

     The   stars   are   gleaming   Upon   her   brow�此  �What   is   she   dreaming   So 

calmly now�拭�By her side is the Angel With folded wings�察�She smiles in her 

slumber The while he sings。 He sings of a Bridal�察�Of Love divine�察�Of a 

heart to be laid On a sacred shrine�察�Of a crown of glory�察�Where seraphs 

shine�察   �Of  the   deep�察 �long   rapture   The   chosen    know    Who    forsake    for 

Heaven Vain joys below�察�Who desire no pleasure�察�And fear no woe。 

     The Bells are ringing�察�The sun shines clear�察�The Choir is singing�察�The 

guests are here。 Before the High Altar Behold the Bride�察�And a mournful 

Angel Is by her side。 She smiles�察�all content With her chosen lot�察 � ��Is her 

last night's dreaming So soon forgot�殖� And oh�察�may the Angel Forsake her 

not� �For on her small hand There glitters plain The first sad link Of a life´ 

long chain�察 � And she needs his guiding Through paths of pain。

                VERSE�此                  �THE ANGEL'S 

                                 BIDDING 



     Not a sound is heard in the Convent�察�The Vesper Chant is sung�察�The 

sick have  all   been tended�察�The  poor  nun's   toils   are  ended Till   the  Matin 

bell   has   rung。 All   is   still�察  �save   the   Clock�察  �that   is   ticking   So   loud   in   the 

frosty air�察�And the soft snow�察�falling as gently As an answer to a prayer。 

But an Angel whispers�察 �Oh�察�Sister�察�You must rise from your bed to pray�察�

In the silent�察�deserted chapel�察�You must kneel till the dawn of day�察�For�察�far 

on the desolate moorland�察�So dreary�察�and bleak�察�and white�察�There is one�察�

all alone and helpless�察�In peril of death to´night。 

     ;No   sound   on   the   moorland   to guide   him�察 �No   star   in the   murky  air�察�

And   he   thinks   of   his   home   and   his   loved   ones   With   the   tenderness   of 

despair�察  �He   has   wandered   for   hours   in   the   snow´drift�察�And   he   strives   to 

stand in vain�察�And so lies down to dream of his children And never to rise 

again。 Then kneel in   the silent   chapel Till the dawn of   to´morrow's sun�察�

And ask of the Lord you worship For the life of that desolate one�察�And the 

smiling eyes of his children Will gladden his heart again�察�And the grateful 

tears of God's poor ones Will fall on your soul like rain�  � 

     ;Yet�察�leave him alone to perish�察�And the grace of your God implore�察�

With all the strength of your spirit�察�For one who needs it more。 Far away�察�

in the gleaming city�察�Amid perfume�察�and song�察�and light�察�A soul that Jesus 

has ransomed Is in peril of sin to´night。 

     ;The Tempter is close beside him�察�And his danger is all forgot�察�And the 

far´off voices of childhood Call aloud�察�but he hears them not�察�He sayeth no 

prayer�察�and his mother ´ He thinks not of her to´day�察�And he will not look 

up to Heaven�察�And his Angel is turning away。 

     ;Then pray for a soul in peril�察�A soul for which Jesus died�察�Ask�察�by the 

cross that bore Him�察�And by her who stood beside�察�And the Angels of God 

will   thank   you�察  �And   bend   from   their   thrones   of   light�察  �To   tell   you   that 

Heaven rejoices At the deed you have done to´night。;

                        VERSE�此                   �SPRING 



     Hark� �the Hours are softly calling�察�Bidding Spring arise�察�To listen to 

the   raindrops   falling   From   the   cloudy   skies�察  �To   listen   to   Earth's   weary 

voices�察�Louder  every day�察 �Bidding   her no   longer  linger On   her  charmed 

way�察  �But   hasten   to   her   task   of   beauty   Scarcely   yet   begun�察  �By   the   first 

bright   day   of   summer   It   should   all   be   done。   She   has   yet   to   loose   the 

fountain From its iron chain�察�And to make the barren mountain Green and 

bright again�察�She must clear the snow that lingers Round the stalks away 

And let the snowdrop's trembling whiteness See the light of day。 She must 

watch�察�and warm�察�and cherish Every blade of green�察�Till the tender grass 

appearing From the earth is seen�察�She must bring the golden crocus From 

her hidden store�察�She must spread broad showers of daisies Each day more 

and    more。   In  each   hedgerow      she  must    hasten   Cowslips     sweet   to  set�察�

Primroses in rich profusion�察�With bright dewdrops wet�察�And under every 

leaf�察�in shadow Hide a Violet� �Every tree within the forest Must be decked 

anew And the tender buds of promise Should be peeping through�察�Folded 

deep�察   �and   almost    hidden�察   �Leaf   by   leaf  beside�察  �What     will  make    the 

Summer's   glory�察�And   the Autumn's   pride。   She   must   weave   the   loveliest 

carpets�察�Chequered sun and shade�察�Every wood must have such pathways 

Laid in   every  glade�察  �She   must   hang   laburnum  branches   On   each   arched 

bough�察 � And the white and purple lilac Should be waving now�察�She must 

breathe�察�and cold winds vanish At her breath away�察�And then load the air 

around her With the scent of May� �Listen then�察�Oh Spring� �nor linger On 

thy charmed way�察�Have pity on thy prisoned flowers Wearying for the day。 

Listen to the raindrops falling From the cloudy skies�察�Listen to the hours 

calling Bidding thee arise。

           VERSE�此                  �EVENING HYMN 



    The shadows of the evening hours Fall from the darkening sky�察�Upon 

the fragrance of the flowers The dews of evening lie�此�Before Thy throne�察�

O Lord of Heaven�察�We kneel at close of day�察�Look on Thy children from 

on high�察�And hear us while we pray。 

    The sorrows of Thy Servants�察�Lord�察�Oh�察�do not Thou despise�察�But let 

the incense of our prayers Before Thy mercy rise�察�The brightness of the 

coming night Upon   the darkness   rolls�此�With   hopes of   future glory  chase 

The shadows on our souls。 

    Slowly the rays of daylight fade�察�So fade within our heart�察�The hopes 

in earthly love and joy�察�That one by one depart�此�Slowly the bright stars�察�

one by one�察�Within the Heavens shine�察 � Give us�察�Oh�察�Lord�察�fresh hopes in 

Heaven�察�And trust in things divine。 

    Let   peace�察  �Oh   Lord�察  �Thy   peace�察  �Oh   God�察  �Upon   our   souls   descend�察�

From midnight fears and perils�察�Thou Our trembling hearts defend�察�Give 

us a respite from our toil�察�Calm and subdue our woes�察�Through the long 

day we suffer�察�Lord�察�Oh�察�give us now repose� �

    In   the   outer   Court   I   was   singing�察  �Was   singing   the   whole   day   long�察�

From the inner chamber were ringing Echoes repeating my song。 

    And I sang till it grew immortal�察�For that very song of mine�察�When re´ 

echoed behind the Portal�察�Was filled with a life divine。 

    Was the Chamber a silver round Of arches�察�whose magical art Drew in 

coils of musical sound�察�And cast them back on my heart�拭�

    Was there hidden within a lyre Which�察�as air breathed over its strings�察�

Filled my song with a soul of fire�察�And sent back my words with wings�拭�

    Was     some   seraph   imprisoned     there�察 �Whose    voice   made   my    song 

complete�察�And whose lingering�察�soft despair�察�Made the echo so faint and 

sweet�拭�
