I saw a Nun, upon a day, who moved, In queer attire clad, and eyes cast down; As though to breathe God's air were task unloved, I gathered from the shadow of her frown. Beside her walked a maiden bright and fair, — A lovely one, with cheeks of ruddy hue; Young loves lay nestling in the twining hair, That round her head in sweet luxuriance grew. A smile was on her lip, a contrast great With the unbending parchment of the face That by her gloomed, and on her seemed to wait The blest attendants of a loving grace. If which were holiest I were called to say, The holiness of beauty would decide the day.
