Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDE FGFFHH IIJK| Art was a palace once things great and fair | A |
| And strong and holy found a temple there | A |
| Now 'tis a lazar house of leprous men | B |
| O shall me hear an English song again | B |
| Still English larks mount in the merry morn | C |
| An English May still brings an English thorn | C |
| Still English daisies up and down the grass | D |
| Still English love for English lad and lass | D |
| Yet youngsters blush to sing an English song | E |
| - | |
| Thou nightingale that for six hundred years | F |
| Sang to the world O art thou husht at last | G |
| For not of thee this new voice in our ears | F |
| Music of France that once was of the spheres | F |
| And not of thee these strange green flowers that spring | H |
| From daisy roots and seemed to bear a sting | H |
| - | |
| Thou Helicon of numbers 'undefiled ' | - |
| Forgive that 'neath the shadow of thy name | I |
| England I bring a song of little fame | I |
| Not as one worthy but as loving thee | J |
| Not as a singer only as a child | K |
