Love comes unexpectedly, As though a melody Came flooding into everyday, Turning thought to dance. It isn't sensuality, Or plain good company, Or beauty, or a fragrant spray That brings one to romance; But these and some sweet mystery, A sensuous sanctity, That makes a family out of play And fate of wayward chance.
