Author: James Joyce
Table of Content1. 1 - Strings in the earth and air - Make music sweet;
2. 2 - The twilight turns from amethyst - To deep and deeper blue,
3. 3 - At that hour when all things have repose, - O lonely watcher of the skies,
4. 4 - When the shy star goes forth in heaven - All maidenly, disconsolate,
5. 5 - Lean out of the window, - Goldenhair,
6. 6 - I would in that sweet bosom be - (O sweet it is and fair it is!)
7. 7 - My love is in a light attire - Among the apple-trees,
8. 8 - Who goes amid the green wood - With springtide all adorning her?
9. 9 - Winds of May, that dance on the sea, - Dancing a ring-around in glee
10. 10 - Bright cap and streamers, - He sings in the hollow:
11. 11 - Bid adieu, adieu, adieu, - Bid adieu to girlish days,
12. 12 - What counsel has the hooded moon - Put in thy heart, my shyly sweet,
13. 13 - Go seek her out all courteously, - And say I come,
14. 14 - My dove, my beautiful one, - Arise, arise!
15. 15 - From dewy dreams, my soul, arise, - From love's deep slumber and from death,
16. 16 - O cool is the valley now - And there, love, will we go
17. 17 - Because your voice was at my side - I gave him pain,
18. 18 - O Sweetheart, hear you - Your lover's tale;
19. 19 - Be not sad because all men - Prefer a lying clamour before you:
20. 20 - In the dark pine-wood - I would we lay,
21. 21 - He who hath glory lost, nor hath - Found any soul to fellow his,
22. 22 - Of that so sweet imprisonment - My soul, dearest, is fain
23. 23 - This heart that flutters near my heart - My hope and all my riches is,
24. 24 - Silently she's combing, - Combing her long hair
25. 25 - Lightly come or lightly go: - Though thy heart presage thee woe,
26. 26 - Thou leanest to the shell of night, - Dear lady, a divining ear.
27. 27 - Though I thy Mithridates were, - Framed to defy the poison-dart,
28. 28 - Gentle lady, do not sing - Sad songs about the end of love;
29. 29 - Dear heart, why will you use me so? - Dear eyes that gently me upbraid,
30. 30 - Love came to us in time gone by - When one at twilight shyly played
31. 31 - O, it was out by Donnycarney - When the bat flew from tree to tree
32. 32 - Rain has fallen all the day. - O come among the laden trees:
33. 33 - Now, O now, in this brown land - Where Love did so sweet music make
34. 34 - Sleep now, O sleep now, - O you unquiet heart!
35. 35 - All day I hear the noise of waters - Making moan,
36. 36 - I hear an army charging upon the land, - And the thunder of horses plunging, foam about their knees:
