CONTENT WAS FULL by FRIEDRICH ADOLF AXEL DETLEV VON LILIENCRON

First Line: WHEN SOFTLY TO MY ARMS YOU CAME
Last Line: CONTENT WAS FULL.

WHEN softly to my arms you came,
Your even pulse unbroken,
Till on your sleeping lips my name
In sunny peace was spoken,
Content was full.

And when at eve you snared away
My discontent and sorrow,
While I within your bosom lay,
All guarded from the morrow,
Content was full.
