Safe at last within its shelter from the tempter's dreaded claim, Dying eyes are watching for her, dying murmurs speak her name. Here she sits beside a pallet, reading words of cheer, and there Kneels and wafts a soul to heaven on the faithful wings of prayer, Thu* employed with ceaseless mission night anon haa worn away, And the starry hosts have vanished through the glowing arch of day. Like another fleeting shadow, does the gentle sister seem, Aa sh*; . Steals back to the convent in the morn...ing's early gleam. 140 HOLIDAY SELECTIONS And a thousand silver voices ring out on the Easter air As she enters through the doorway, climbs again the winding stair.
