Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FGCHI JKLMD| Is it so hard for men to stand by themselves | A |
| They must hang on Marx or Christ or mere Progress | B |
| Clearly it is hard But these ought to be leaders | C |
| Sheep leading sheep 'The fold the fold | D |
| Night comes and the wolves of doubt ' Clearly it is hard | E |

| Yourself if you had not encountered and loved | F |
| Our unkindly all but inhuman God | G |
| Who is very beautiful and too secure to want worshippers | C |

| You too might have been looking about for a church | I |
| - | |
| He includes the flaming stars and pitiable flesh | J |
| And what we call things and what we call nothing | K |
| He is very beautiful But when these lonely have travelled | L |
| Through long thoughts to redeeming despair | M |
| They are tired and cover their eyes they flock into fold | D |
