| As when in a church mysterious | A |
| Windows paint with God the gloom | B |

| As when minster arch and column | D |
| Echo organ worship low | C |

| In the shadow of the beeches | A |
| Where the light and shade are blent | E |
| Where the forest bird beseeches | A |
| And the breeze is brimmed with scent | E |
| Is it joy or melancholy | F |
| That o'erwhelms us partly wholly | F |
| To our spirit's betterment | E |
| - | |
| In the shadow of the beeches | A |
| Lay me where no eye perceives | A |
| Where like some great arm that reaches | A |
| Gently as a love that grieves | A |
| One gnarled root may clasp me kindly | F |
| While the long years working blindly | F |
| Slowly change my dust to leaves | A |
