Oh sure in the kingdom of heaven we've been!"
There is joy in the convent of Beverley,
Now these saintly maidens are found,
And to hear their story right wonderingly,
The nuns have gathered around—
The long lost maidens, to whom was given,
To live so long the life of heaven.
And again the chapel bell is rung,
And all to the altar repair,
And sweetly the midnight lauds are sung,
