Rhyme Scheme: A BCBC ADAD EFEG HIHI JHJH| To Mrs Weigall | A |
| - | |
| Into the stricken house who steals on quiet feet | B |
| And sudden brings the sunshine it used to wear | C |
| Whose is the tender whisper that turns the bitter sweet | B |
| Whose kiss is on your forehead whose breath in your hair | C |
| - | |
| Who sits down beside you in the firelight glow | A |
| Who leans on your shoulder like the boy of old | D |
| Whose is the arm about you that you used to know | A |
| Drawing the sting from your wound your heart from cold | D |
| - | |
| Like the rustle of dead leaves in the autumn gloam | E |
| Running like little feet on a wind swept road | F |
| They are coming home so sweetly all the roads of home | E |
| Very flesh of your flesh who belong to God | G |
| - | |
| The horse in the stable whinnies by the door | H |
| The dog of a sudden is wild with delight | I |
| Who is this he welcomes long waited for | H |
| Who smiles in the shadow so dear so bright | I |
| - | |
| Mercy of God they are given not taken away | J |
| There's a face in the doorway a foot on the floor | H |
| They sit down beside us in the shadows grey | J |
| Lay their heads on our breasts as oft before | H |
