Love Came to Us

  Love Came to Us


 Love came to us in time gone by 
When one at twilight shyly played 
And one in fear was standing nigh -- - 
For Love at first is all afraid. 

We were grave lovers. Love is past 
That had his sweet hours many a one; 
Welcome to us now at the last 
The ways that we shall go upon.
