Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGHEEIIJK DDLLMM| Sweetly solemn see them stand | A |
| Spinning churns on either hand | A |
| Neatly capped and aproned white | B |
| Airy fairy dairy sight | B |
| Jersey priestesses they seem | C |
| Miracling milk to cream | C |
| Cream solidifies to cheese | D |
| By Pasteural mysteries | D |
| And they give within their shrine | E |
| Their communi n in kine | E |
| Incantations pure they mutter | F |
| O'er the golden minted butter | F |
| And no layman hand can pen it | G |
| See them gloat above their rennet | H |
| By that hillside window pane | E |
| Rugged teamsters draw the rein | E |
| Doff the battered hat and bow | I |
| To these acolytes of cow | I |
| Genuflect ye passersby | J |
| Muse upon their ritual high | K |
| Milk to cream yea cream to cheese | D |
| White lacteal mysteries | D |
| Let adorers sing the word | L |
| Of the smoothly flowing curd | L |
| Yea we sing with bells and fife | M |
| This is the whey this is the Life | M |
