Songs (continued)
“I wandered forth at night alone”
(continued from previous page)My spirit - and I wept.' In yonder Goshen once - I thought -
Reigned Piety and Peace: Virtue and Truth were there:
With Charity and blessed spirit of Prayer
Was each fleet moment fraught: There Unity and Walk and Will
Blent hundreds into one: no jealousies or jars
Troubled their placid lives: their fortunate stars
Had triumphed over Ill: There kneeled each morn and even
The bell for Martin and Vesper: Mass was said or sung.
From the bright silver censer as it swung,
Rose balsamy clouds to Heaven. Through the round cloistered corridors
A many a midnight hour, bareheaded and unshod
Walked the Grey Friars, beseeching from their God
Peace for these western shores: The weary pilgrim bowed by Age
Oft found asylum there - found welcome and found wine(continues on next page)- Collector
