Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD CECE CFCF FGFG AFAF CHCH| High up in the organ story | A |
| A girl stands slim and fair | B |
| And touched with the casement's glory | A |

| Then lifts the Host above | D |
| And the psalm intoned from the psalter | C |
| Is pure with patient love | D |

| A sweet bell chimes and a censer | C |
| Swings gleaming in the gloom | E |

| Then high in the organ choir | C |
| A voice of crystal soars | F |
| Of patience and soul's desire | C |
| That suffers and adores | F |

| And out of the altar's dimness | F |
| An answering voice doth swell | G |
| Of passion that cries from the grimness | F |
| And anguish of its own hell | G |
| - | |
| High up in the organ story | A |
| One kneels with a girlish grace | F |
| And touched with the vesper glory | A |
| Lifts her madonna face | F |
| - | |
| One stands at the cloudy altar | C |
| A form bowed down and thin | H |
| The text of the psalm in the psalter | C |
| He reads is sorrow and sin | H |
