"Hads't thou stayed, I must have fled! " / That is what the Vision said.
In his chamber all alone, / Kneeling on the floor of stone, / Prayed the Monk in deep contrition / For his sins of indecision, / Prayed for greater self-denial / In temptation and in trial; / It was noonday by the dial, / And the Monk was all alone.
