Poetic Divination | Love Came to Us

“Love Came to Us”

by James Joyce

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.
