Christ's Coming (Author: Pádraic H. Pearse)

p.328

1. 1] I have made my heart clean to-night
   2] As a woman might clean her house
   3] Ere her lover come to visit her:
   4] O Lover, pass not by !
2. 5] I have opened the door of my heart
   6] Like a man that would make a feast
   7] For his son's coming home from afar:
   8] Lovely Thy coming, O Son !
