Love Came to Us by James Joyce

  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.
