Love is Enough (1872), Song IX: Ho Ye Who Seek Saving
Love is Enough (1872), Song IV: Draw Near and Behold Me
Variant: Pass by me, I hearken, and think of you not!
Context: Love is enough: draw near and behold me
Ye who pass by the way to your rest and your laughter,
And are full of the hope of the dawn coming after;
For the strong of the world have bought me and sold me
And my house is all wasted from threshold to rafter.
— Pass by me, and hearken, and think of me not!
