| The Church is vast its towering pride its steeples loom on high | C |
| The bristling stones with leaf and flower are sculptured wondrously | D |
| The portal glows resplendent with its rose | E |
| And 'neath the vault immense at evening swarm | F |
| Figures of angel saint or demon's form | F |
| As oft a fearful world our dreams disclose | E |
| But not the huge Cathedral's height nor yet its vault sublime | G |
| Nor porch nor glass nor streaks of light nor shadows deep with time | G |
| Nor massy towers that fascinate mine eyes | H |
| No 'tis that spot the mind's tranquillity | A |
| Chamber wherefrom the song mounts cheerily | D |
| Placed like a joyful nest well nigh the skies | H |

| Yea glorious is the Church I ween but Meekness dwelleth here | I |
| Less do I love the lofty oak than mossy nest it bear | J |
| More dear is meadow breath than stormy wind | A |
| And when my mind for meditation's meant | A |
| The seaweed is preferred to the shore's extent | A |
| The swallow to the main it leaves behind | A |
