Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFGFCHCH IJIKLMLM| Oh if it were not for my wife | A |
| And family increase | B |
| How gladly would I close my life | A |
| In monastery peace | B |
| A sweet and scented isle I know | C |
| Where monks in muteness dwell | D |
| And there in sereness I would go | C |
| And seek a cell | D |
| - | |
| On milk and oaten meal I'd live | E |
| With carrot kail and cheese | F |
| The greens that tiny gardens give | G |
| The bounty of the bees | F |
| Then war might rage I would not know | C |
| Or knowing would not care | H |
| No echo of a world of woe | C |
| Would irk me there | H |
| - | |
| And I would be forgotten too | I |
| As mankind I forgot | J |
| Read Shakespeare and the Bible through | I |
| And brood in quiet thought | K |
| Content with birds and trees and flowers | L |
| In mellow age to find | M |
| 'Mid monastery's holy hours | L |
| God's Peace of Mind | M |
