When Love Came To My
Doorway
When Love came to my doorway
The roses clustered 'round,
The birds sang sweeter, sweeter,
The place seemed hallowed ground,
The breezes wafted music
The sweetest ever heard;
When Love came to my doorway
How my sluggish heart was stirred.
When Love came to my doorway
The sunshine burst anew,
And the dismal clouds above me
Gave way to azure blue,
And the pathways where I wandered
Were strewn with roses rare;
When Love came to my doorway
Life was so sweet and fair.
When Love came to my doorway
My listless heart again
Forgot that there was sorrow,
Forgot there e'er was pain,
And like a dream enchanted
Were all the hours that came,
For pain and toil and sorrow
Were melted by its flame.
