'Twas a dark time, that on Valerien's browRear'd the sad refuge of that convent tower!
There mind was buried, wither'd beauty's glow,
There passion lost its hope, but not its power;
Yet good was mix'd with ill; its midnight hour
Heard prayers from haughty lips that then first pray'd;
And woman who had wept her loveliest dower,
There hid her broken heart in calm and shade,
And turned her to His fold, who sought the lamb that stray'd!
