Practice Rumination


Isabella Leonarda, who was Ursuline,

  Resided in a convent all her days.

Which meant she had a place to hold rehearsal in,

  With a minimum of hassles and delays.


Rehearsing the motets that she had written,

   She found it was a perk that can’t be priced

To have a spacious choir loft to sit it

   While singing with her fellow brides of Christ.
