On Sunday morn, down sacred aisle,
I see you passing, fair and proud,
With queenly head sedately bowed,
And eyes deep-veiled; and can you smile,
O lady of the dusk defile?

'T is wisdom for a little while
To leave the glitter and the crowd,
To put aside the Tempter's wile
On Sunday morn.

Yet, though you strive to reconcile
Youth's frolic heart to sober-browed
Devotion, still you must beguile,
For Cupid all but laughs aloud,
About your lips, demure exile,
On Sunday morn!
