- | |
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 |
