CONTENT WAS FULL, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: When softly to my arms you came
Last Line: Content was full.
Alternate Author Name(s): Liliencron, Detlev Von


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.
