| Or what I was dreaming then | E |
| But I struck one chord of music | F |
| Like the sound of a great Amen | E |
| - | |
| It flooded the crimson twilight | G |
| Like the close of an Angel's Psalm | H |
| And it lay on my fevered spirit | I |
| With a touch of infinite calm | J |

| It quieted pain and sorrow | K |
| Like love overcoming strife | L |
| It seemed the harmonious echo | K |
| From our discordant life | L |

| It linked all perplex eacute d meanings | M |
| Into one perfect peace | N |
| And trembled away into silence | O |
| As if it were loth to cease | N |

| I have sought but I seek it vainly | C |
| That one lost chord divine | P |
| Which came from the soul of the Organ | A |
| And entered into mine | P |

| It may be that Death's bright angel | Q |
| Will speak in that chord again | E |
| It may be that only in Heaven | A |
| I shall hear that grand Amen | E |
