And again the chapel bell is rung, And all to the altar repair, And sweetly the midnight lauds are sung, By the sainted sisters there ; 122 THE SISTERS OF BEVERLEY. While their heaven-taught voices softly rise Like an incense cloud to the silent skies. The maidens have risen, with noiseless tread They glide o'er the marble floor ; They seek the abbess with bended head, — " Thy blessing we would implore, Dear mother ! for ere the coming day Shall burst into light, we must hence away. " The abbes...s hath lifted her gentle hands, And the words of peace hath said, O vade in pacem, aghast she stands. Have their innocent spirits fled ? Yes, side by side lie these maidens fair, Like two wreaths of snow in the moonlight there. List ! List ! the sweet peal of the convent bells, They are rung by no earthly hand, And hark how the far off" melody swells Of the joyful angel band, Who hover around surpassingly bright, And the chapel is bathed in rosy light. 'Tis o'er ! side by side in the chapel fair.
