THE day is come that I knew must be
(Nothing may trouble me any more)
Love has looked on me wistfully,
Kissed me and left me and closed the door.

Free he went -- as he entered free --
But with him too went the dread I bore.
The day is come I knew must be,
Nothing may trouble me any more.

Always I knew it must come to me --
This time I have warded yet waited for,
With a heart that broke at its certainty!
O, the joy and the hope and the dread are o'er!
The day is come that I knew must be,
Nothing may trouble me any more.
