I	A
Love is enough though the World be a waning	B
	-
And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining	B
	-
Though the sky be too dark for dim eyes to discover	C
	-
The gold cups and daisies fair blooming thereunder	C
	-
Though the hills be held shadows and the sea a dark wonder	C
	-
And this day draw a veil over all deeds passed over	C
	-
Yet their hands shall not tremble their feet shall not falter	C
	-
The void shall not weary the fear shall not alter	C
	-
These lips and these eyes of the loved and the lover II	A
Love is enough have no thought for to morrow	C
	-
If ye lie down this even in rest from your pain	D
	-
Ye who have paid for your bliss with great sorrow	C
	-
For as it was once so it shall be again	E
	-
Ye shall cry out for death as ye stretch forth in vain	D
Feeble hands to the hands that would help but they may not	F
	-
Cry out to deaf ears that would hear if they could	G
	-
Till again shall the change come and words your lips say not	F
	-
Your hearts make all plain in the best wise they would	G
	-
	-
And the world ye thought waning is glorious and good	G
	-
And no morning now mocks you and no nightfall is weary	C
	-
	-
The plains are not empty of song and of deed	H
	-
	-
The sea strayeth not nor the mountains are dreary	C
	-
	-
The wind is not helpless for any man's need	H
	-
	-
Nor falleth the rain but for thistle and weed	H
	-
O surely this morning all sorrow is hidden	I
	-
	-
All battle is hushed for this even at least	J
	-
	-
And no one this noontide may hunger unbidden	I
	-
	-
To the flowers and the singing and the joy of your feast	J
	-
	-
Where silent ye sit midst the world's tale increased	J
	-
Lo the lovers unloved that draw nigh for your blessing	B
	-
	-
For your tale makes the dreaming whereby yet they live	K
	-
	-
The dreams of the day with their hopes of redressing	B
	-
	-
The dreams of the night with the kisses they give	L
	-
	-
The dreams of the dawn wherein death and hope strive	K
	-
Ah what shall we say then but that earth threatened often	I
	-
	-
Shall live on for ever that such things may be	C
	-
	-
That the dry seed shall quicken the hard earth shall soften	I
	-
	-
And the spring bearing birds flutter north o'er the sea	C
	-
	-
That earth's garden may bloom round my love's feet and me III	A
Love is enough it grew up without heeding	B
	-
In the days when ye knew not its name nor its measure	C
	-
And its leaflets untrodden by the light feet of pleasure	C
	-
Had no boast of the blossom no sign of the seeding	B
	-
As the morning and evening passed over its treasure	C
And what do ye say then That Spring long departed	M
	-
Has brought forth no child to the softness and showers	N
	-
That we slept and we dreamed through the Summer of flowers	N
	-
We dreamed of the Winter and waking dead hearted	M
	-
	-
Found Winter upon us and waste of dull hours	N
	-
Nay Spring was o'er happy and knew not the reason	I
	-
	-
And Summer dreamed sadly for she thought all was ended	M
	-
	-
In her fulness of wealth that might not be amended	M
	-
	-
But this is the harvest and the garnering season	I
	-
	-
And the leaf and the blossom in the ripe fruit are blended	M
	-
It sprang without sowing it grew without heeding	B
	-
	-
Ye knew not its name and ye knew not its measure	C
	-
	-
Ye noted it not mid your hope and your pleasure	C
	-
	-
There was pain in its blossom despair in its seeding	B
	-
	-
But daylong your bosom now nurseth its treasure IV	K
Love is enough draw near and behold me	C
	-
Ye who pass by the way to your rest and your laughter	C
	-
And are full of the hope of the dawn coming after	C
	-
For the strong of the world have bought me and sold me	C
	-
And my house is all wasted from threshold to rafter	C
	-
Pass by me and hearken and think of me not	F
Cry out and come near for my ears may not hearken	I
	-
And my eyes are grown dim as the eyes of the dying	B
	-
Is this the grey rack o'er the sun's face a flying	B
	-
	-
Or is it your faces his brightness that darken	I
	-
	-
Comes a wind from the sea or is it your sighing	B
	-
	-
Pass by me and hearken and pity me not	F
	-
Ye know not how void is your hope and your living	B
	-
	-
Depart with your helping lest yet ye undo me	C
	-
	-
Ye know not that at nightfall she draweth near to me	C
	-
	-
There is soft speech between us and words of forgiving	B
	-
	-
Till in dead of the midnight her kisses thrill through me	C
	-
	-
Pass by me and harken and waken me not	F
	-
Wherewith will ye buy it ye rich who behold me	C
	-
	-
Draw out from your coffers your rest and your laughter	C
	-
	-
And the fair gilded hope of the dawn coming after	C
	-
	-
Nay this I sell not though ye bought me and sold me	C
	-
	-
For your house stored with such things from threshold to rafter	C
	-
	-
Pass by me I hearken and think of you not V	C
Love is enough through the trouble and tangle	O
	-
From yesterday's dawning to yesterday's night	P
	-
I sought through the vales where the prisoned winds wrangle	O
	-
Till wearied and bleeding at end of the light	P
	-
I met him and we wrestled and great was my might	P
O great was my joy though no rest was around me	C
	-
Though mid wastes of the world were we twain all alone	I
	-
For methought that I conquered and he knelt and he crowned me	C
	-
And the driving rain ceased and the wind ceased to moan	I
	-
	-
And through clefts of the clouds her planet outshone	I
	-
O through clefts of the clouds 'gan the world to awaken	I
	-
	-
And the bitter wind piped and down drifted the rain	I
	-
	-
And I was alone and yet not forsaken	I
	-
	-
For the grass was untrodden except by my pain	I
	-
	-
With a Shadow of the Night had I wrestled in vain	I
	-
And the Shadow of the Night and not Love was departed	M
	-
	-
I was sore I was weary yet Love lived to seek	Q
	-
	-
So I scaled the dark mountains and wandered sad hearted	M
	-
	-
Over wearier wastes where e'en sunlight was bleak	Q
	-
	-
With no rest of the night for my soul waxen weak	Q
	-
With no rest of the night for I waked mid a story	C
	-
	-
Of a land wherein Love is the light and the lord	R
	-
	-
Where my tale shall be heard and my wounds gain a glory	C
	-
	-
And my tears be a treasure to add to the hoard	R
	-
	-
Of pleasure laid up for his people's reward	R
	-
Ah pleasure laid up Haste then onward and listen	I
	-
	-
For the wind of the waste has no music like this	S
	-
	-
And not thus do the rocks of the wilderness glisten	I
	-
	-
With the host of his faithful through sorrow and bliss	S
	-
	-
My Lord goeth forth now and knows me for his VI	K
Love is enough cherish life that abideth	T
	-
Lest ye die ere ye know him and curse and misname him	U
	-
For who knows in what ruin of all hope he hideth	T
	-
On what wings of the terror of darkness he rideth	T
	-
And what is the joy of man's life that ye blame him	U
	-
For his bliss grown a sword and his rest grown a fire	C
Ye who tremble for death or the death of desire	C
	-
Pass about the cold winter tide garden and ponder	C
	-
On the rose in his glory amidst of June's fire	C
	-
	-
On the languor of noontide that gathered the thunder	C
	-
	-
On the morn and its freshness the eve and its wonder	C
	-
	-
Ye may make it no more shall Spring come to awaken	I
	-
Live on for Love liveth and earth shall be shaken	I
	-
	-
By the wind of his wings on the triumphing morning	B
	-
	-
When the dead and their deeds that die not shall awak	B
