The Wayfarer

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
