Love entered in my heart one day, / A sad, unwelcome guest; / But when he begged that he might stay, / I let him wait and rest.

He broke my sleep with sorrowing, / And shook my dreams with tears, / And when my heart was fain to sing, / He stilled its joy with fears.

But now that he has gone his way, / I miss the old sweet pain, / And sometimes in the night I pray / That he may come again.
