[Love came to us in time gone by]

by James Joyce, 1907

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.
