Part 2 — SWEET LOVE AND I.
Reading edition
Sweet Love and I have strangers been These many years, So many years. He came to me when Life was green And free from fears, These present fears. He came, and for a little space My life was gladdened by his grace; But soon he fled, and joy gave place To grief and tears. 'O Love, come to me once again!' My lone heart sighs, So sadly sighs. 'Recall thy fearless nature, then, Sweet Love replies, Softly replies. 'Thou canst not? Then I cannot be The same that once I was to thee. There's no room in the heart for me, Where fears arise.' A. C. S.
