Long years ago,
when the Devil was loose
and faith was sorely tried,
   Three monks of Basel went
out to walk in the quiet eventide.

A breeze as pure as the breath of
    Heaven
Blew fresh through the cloister-shades,
a sky as glad as the smile of
    Heaven
Blushed rose o'er the minster-glades.

But scorning the lures of summer and
    sense,
the monks passed on in their walk;
Their eyes were abased,
their senses slept,
Their souls were in their talks.

O'h ...
A non ...
A wordless carol of life and love,
of nature free and wild;
And the tree monks paused in the
    Evening Shade,
looked up at each other and smile...
