First Line: O you whom I often and silently come when you are that I may be with you
Last Line: Is playing within me.
Subject(s): Love
O you whom I often and silently come where you are that I
may be with you,
As I walk by your side or sit near, or remain in the same

Little you know the subtle electric fire that for your sake
is playing within me.
