Rhyme Scheme: AABAAB CCDCCE FFGFFG CCHCCI| If all the sermons good men preach | A |
| And all the precepts that they teach | A |
| Were gathered into one | B |
| Unbroken line of silver speech | A |
| The shining filament might reach | A |
| From earth unto the sun | B |
| - | |
| If all the stories ever told | C |
| By wild romancers young or old | C |
| Into a thread were drawn | D |
| And from its cable coil unrolled | C |
| 'Twould span those misty hills of gold | C |
| That heaven seems resting on | E |
| - | |
| If every folly every freak | F |
| From day to day from week to week | F |
| Is written in The Book | G |
| With all the idle words we speak | F |
| Would it not crimson many a cheek | F |
| Upon the page to look | G |
| - | |
| If all the good deeds that we do | C |
| From honest motives pure and true | C |
| Shall there recorded be | H |
| Known unto God and angels too | C |
| Is it not sad they are so few | C |
| And wrought so charily | I |
