Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDDDD| How beautiful your presence how benign | A |
| Servants of God who not a thought will share | B |
| With the vain world who outwardly as bare | B |
| As winter trees yield no fallacious sign | A |
| That the firm soul is clothed with fruit divine | A |
| Such Priest when service worthy of his care | B |
| Has called him forth to breathe the common air | B |
| Might seem a saintly Image from its shrine | A |
| Descended happy are the eyes that meet | C |
| The Apparition evil thoughts are stayed | D |
| At his approach and low bowed necks entreat | D |
| A benediction from his voice or hand | D |
| Whence grace through which the heart can understand | D |
| And vows that bind the will in silence made | D |
