Poem by James Joyce

Chamber Music. 30. 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.

3. Chamber Music. 21. He Who Hath Glory Lost, Nor Hath
4. Chamber Music. 7. My Love Is in a Light Attire
5. Chamber Music. 22. Of That So Sweet Imprisonment
