Rhyme Scheme: ABABBC DEDEE FFGFFH AAAAA ADADDH| Love is enough ho ye who seek saving | A |
| Go no further come hither there have been who have found it | B |
| And these know the House of Fulfilment of Craving | A |
| These know the Cup with the roses around it | B |
| These know the World's Wound and the balm that hath bound it | B |
| Cry out the World heedeth not 'Love lead us home ' | C |
| - | |
| He leadeth He hearkeneth He cometh to you ward | D |
| Set your faces as steel to the fears that assemble | E |
| Round his goad for the faint and his scourge for the froward | D |
| Lo his lips how with tales of last kisses they tremble | E |
| Lo his eyes of all sorrow that may not dissemble | E |
| Cry out for he heedeth 'O Love lead us home ' | - |

| O hearken the words of his voice of compassion | F |
| 'Come cling round about me ye faithful who sicken | F |
| Of the weary unrest and the world's passing fashions | G |
| As the rain in mid morning your troubles shall thicken | F |
| But surely within you some Godhead doth quicken | F |
| As ye cry to me heeding and leading you home | H |
| - | |
| 'Come pain ye shall have and be blind to the ending | A |
| Come fear ye shall have mid the sky's overcasting | A |
| Come change ye shall have for far are ye wending | A |
| Come no crown ye shall have for your thirst and your fasting | A |
| But the kissed lips of Love and fair life everlasting | A |
| Cry out for one heedeth who leadeth you home ' | - |
| - | |
| Is he gone was he with us ho ye who seek saving | A |
| Go no further come hither for have we not found it | D |
| Here is the House of Fulfilment of Craving | A |
| Here is the Cup with the roses around it | D |
| The World's Wound well healed and the balm that hath bound it | D |
| Cry out for he heedeth fair Love that led home | H |
