1 " Gentle lady, do not sing Sad songs about the end of love;Lay aside sadness and sing How love that passes is enough.Sing about the long deep sleep Of lovers that are dead, and howIn the grave all love shall sleep: Love is aweary now. "
― James Joyce , Chamber Music

3 " Welladay! Welladay! For the winds of May!Love is unhappy when love is away! "
4 " There's music along the riverFor Love wanders there "
5 " When all things repose, do you alone Awake to hear the sweet harps play To Love before him on his way, And the night wind answering in antiphon Till night is overgone? "
6 " O Sweetheart, hear thouYour lover's taleA man shall have sorrowWhen friends him fail.For he shall know thenFriends be untrueAnd a little ashesTheir words come toBut one onto himWill softly moveAnd softly woo himIn ways of love.His hand is underHer smooth round breastSo he who has sorrowShall have rest. "
7 " Through the clear mirror of your eyes, Through the soft sigh of kiss to kkiss,Desolate winds assail with cries The shadowy garden where love is. "
