Explore "Soeur Monique" by Alice Meynell on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Quiet form of silent nun,
What has given you to my inward eyes? / What has marked you, unknown one, / In the throngs of centuries / That mine ears do listen through? / This old master's melody / That expresses you, / This admired simplicity, / Tender, with a serious wit, / And two words, the name of it, / 'Soeur Monique.'
