Love came in at the door one day
Language: English
Love came in at the door one day To stay; But I told him I wished for no such guest, But that he might wait for a little rest That day. Love sat down on the cottage stool So cool; I told him he must not watch me so, But he only laughed till my face was aglow, Poor fool! Love came in at the door that day In May - Came in with the scent of the flowering beans; He's not gone yet, and I think he means To stay!
