If I'm not mistaken, you'll long have to search

Before you discover this old City church:

But it's whereabouts I don't intend to betray,

Though a pilgrim each week to the shrine of Saint May!

The one bell is cracked in its crazy old tower,

The sermon oft lasts rather more than an hour;

The parson is prosy, the clerk eighty-three,

The organ drones out in a sad minor key:

Yet how quickly the moments, I find, fly away,

I pass every week 'neath the spell of Saint May.
