If love hath entered thy heart
J. Marx
If love hath entered thy heart,
Still midst the tumult of people,
Walking in golden sunlight,
Safely by God thou'rt led.
As lost in dreams thou dost go,
Gazing on all things around thee,
Leaving to others their pleasures,
Led by one only desire.
Shy, in thyself thou dost draw,
Yet wouldst deny it, how vainly,
That now the crown of thy lifetime,
Shining thy brow adorns.
