Poet Analysis

First Line: LOVE CAME TO US IN TIME GONE BY
Last Line: THE WAYS THAT WE SHALL GO UPON.
Subject(s): LOVE - NATURE OF;
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.
