Rhyme Scheme: A BCBBDEDEFFGHHG I| To in church | A |

| - | |
| If I was drawn here from a distant place | B |
| 'Twas not to pray nor hear our friend's address | C |
| But gazing once more on your winsome face | B |
| To worship there Ideal Loveliness | B |
| On that pure shrine that has too long ignored | D |
| The gifts that once I brought so frequently | E |
| I lay this votive offering to record | D |
| How sweet your quiet beauty seemed to me | E |
| Enchanting girl my faith is not a thing | F |
| By futile prayers and vapid psalm singing | F |
| To vent in crowded nave and public pew | G |
| My creed is simple that the world is fair | H |
| And beauty the best thing to worship there | H |
| And I confess it by adoring you | G |
