Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from In Cloisters Dim
One evc'l knelt in a Franciscan church, And one, I need not name, beside me knelt And prayed. The twilight cast a sacred gloom O'er nave and chancel. Sculptured saint, and saint In painting, _shadowy, spirit like, appeared. Her face alone shone clear and angel-like, A-nd, looking upward to the one red light Which burned before the Host, a tender light In her own face, betokened angel smiles. The sound of children chanting Childhood's hymns Of praise to Mary. Floated down from stalls Up near the holy place. Two monks in cowls And gi-rded with the three-fold cord, before The altar knelt in silent prayer, She, too.
