In Church + 

She prays for father, mother dear, + 

To Him with thunder shod, + 

She prays for every falling tear + 

In the holy church of God. + 

For all good men now fallen ill, + 

For merry men that weep, + 

For holiest teachers of His will, + 

And common men that sleep. + 

The sunlight flickering on the pews, + 

The sunlight in the air, + 

The flies that dance in threes, in twos, + 

They seem to join her prayer⁠— + 

Her prayer for father, mother dear, + 

To Him with thunder shod, + 

A prayer for every falling tear + 

In the holy church of God. + 
