Last Line: When love came in?
Alternate Author Name(s): Paget, R. L.
Subject(s): Love


WHEN Love came in, one stormy night,
His hands, poor boy, were frozen quite;
He wept as one who grieveth sore,
Knocked thrice, and opening wide my door
Revealed the snow-drifts cold and white.

I pitied him, -- the luckless wight;
Drew Cupid to my fireside bright,
And shared my winter's failing store,
When Love came in.

When, presto! could you see the sight!
His eyes o'erbrimmed with roguish light,
He laughed, that wanton god, and swore
He ne'er would leave my threshold more.
Sweetheart, have you forgot my plight
When Love came in?
