Love Came to Us in Time Gone By

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.
