Love's Coming

Quietly as rosebuds Talk to the thin air. Love came so lightly I knew not he was there.

Quietly as lovers Creep at the middle moon. Softly as players tremble In the tears of a tune.

Quietly as lilies Their faint vows declare. Came the shy pilgrim, I saw not he was there.

Quietly as tears fall On a warm sin, Softly as griefs call In a violin.

With no hail or tempest, Blue sword or flame, Love came so lightly I knew not that he came.
