Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mar Marie: A Poem
I knew her only as a gray-garbed nun Whose gentle mission took her Wheresoe'er A wearied body or grief-sickened heart Had need of rest and that sure healing wrought By her soft touch and low sweet-cadenced voice. By What thrice-blessed chance she came to be The star that fixed my life's uncertain course, Were briefly told - The kindly, keen-eyed friend Whose ready skill to read the cause of things Beneath their seeming, came thro' many years Of ceaseless work among his suffering kind, Discerned my need and sent me Soeur Marie.
