Love came to us in time gone by
When one at twilight shyly played
And one in fear was standing nigh—
For Love at first is all afraid.
We were grave lovers. Love is past
That had his sweet hours many a one;
Welcome to us now at the last
The ways that we shall go upon.
I am busy working to bring James Joyce's "Love came to us in time gone by" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about James Joyce's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Love came to us in time gone by" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
