Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JKLL AMNM| Lord when he shall come home from war | A |
| Give him no pastures green | B |
| But a wet wind and a soft wind | C |
| With reek of turf between | B |
| - | |
| Nor let Thy light shine overmuch | D |
| Lest that his soul should fret | E |
| For the grey mist and silver mist | F |
| That he will not forget | E |
| - | |
| Build him no pearl white palaces | G |
| Nor gardens fair and fine | H |
| Lest for his bare far stretching bogs | I |
| His home sick heart should pine | H |
| - | |
| Not groves nor any vermeil walks | J |
| Nor flowery pastures pied | K |
| But the great sweep of sky and land | L |
| And the hills at eventide | L |
| - | |
| Lord when the men come from the war | A |
| Give each man his desire | M |
| Give him the soft wind and the rain | N |
| And the reek of the turf fire | M |
