| Preaches to day | B |
| Under the green trees | C |
| Just over the way | B |
| Squirrel and song sparrow | D |
| High on their perch | E |
| Hear the sweet lily bells | F |
| Ringing to church | E |
| Come hear what his reverence | G |
| Rises to say | B |
| In his low painted pulpit | A |
| This calm Sabbath day | B |
| Fair is the canopy | H |
| Over him seen | I |
| Penciled by Nature's hand | J |
| Black brown and green | I |
| Green is his surplice | B |
| Green are his bands | B |
| In his queer little pulpit | A |
| The little priest stands | B |
| - | |
| In black and gold velvet | K |
| So gorgeous to see | B |
| Comes with his bass voice | B |
| The chorister bee | B |
| Green fingers playing | L |
| Unseen on wind lyres | B |
| Low singing bird voices | B |
| These are his choirs | B |
| The violets are deacons | B |
| I know by the sign | M |
| That the cups which they carry | B |
| Are purple with wine | M |
| And the columbines bravely | B |
| As sentinels stand | J |
| On the look out with all their | N |
| Red trumpets in hand | J |
| - | |
| Meek faced anemones | B |
| Drooping and sad | O |
| Great yellow violets | B |
| Smiling out glad | O |
| Buttercups' faces | B |
| Beaming and bright | P |
| Clovers with bonnets | B |
| Some red and some white | P |
| Daisies their white fingers | B |
| Half clasped in prayer | N |
| Dandelions proud of | Q |
| The gold of their hair | N |
| Innocents children | R |
| Guileless and frail | S |
| Meek little faces | B |
| Upturned and pale | S |
| Wild wood geraniums | B |
| All in their best | T |
| Languidly leaning | L |
| In purple gauze dressed | T |
| All are assembled | U |
| This sweet Sabbath day | B |
| To hear what the priest | V |
| In his pulpit will say | B |
| - | |
| Look white Indian pipes | B |
| On the green mosses lie | W |
| Who has been smoking | L |
| Profanely so nigh | W |
| Rebuked by the preacher | X |
| The mischief is stopped | Y |
| But the sinners in haste | Z |
| Have their little pipes dropped | Y |
| Let the wind with the fragrance | B |
| Of fern and black birch | E |
| Blow the smell of the smoking | L |
| Clean out of the church | E |
| So much for the preacher | X |
| The sermon comes next | A2 |
| Shall we tell how he preached it | A |
| And where was his text | A2 |
| Alas like too many | B |
| Grown up folks who play | B |
| At worship in churches | B |
| Man builded to day | B |
| We heard not the preacher | X |
| Expound or discuss | B |
| - | |
| But we looked at the people | B2 |
| And they looked at us | B |
| We saw all their dresses | B |
| Their colors and shapes | B |
| The trim of their bonnets | B |
| The cut of their capes | B |
| We heard the wind organ | R |
| The bee and the bird | C2 |
| But of Jack in the pulpit | A |
| We heard not a word | C2 |
