Rhyme Scheme: ABCB ACAC DEDE AFCF GHGH| I came to the door of the House of Love | A |
| And knocked as the starry night went by | B |
| And my true love cried Who knocks and I said | C |
| It is I | B |
| - | |
| And Love looked down from a lattice above | A |
| Where the roses were dry as the lips of the dead | C |
| There is not room in the House of Love | A |
| For you both he said | C |
| - | |
| I plucked a leaf from the porch and crept | D |
| Away through a desert of scoffs and scorns | E |
| To a lonely place where I prayed and wept | D |
| And wove me a crown of thorns | E |
| - | |
| I came once more to the House of Love | A |
| And knocked ah softly and wistfully | F |
| And my true love cried Who knocks and I said | C |
| None now but thee | F |
| - | |
| And the great doors opened wide apart | G |
| And a voice rang out from a glory of light | H |
| Make room make room for a faithful heart | G |
| In the House of Love to night | H |
