James Joyce (Джеймс Джойс)

Chamber Music. 11. Bid Adieu, Adieu, Adieu

Bid adieu, adieu, adieu,
    Bid adieu to girlish days,
Happy Love is come to woo
    Thee and woo thy girlish ways—
The zone that doth become thee fair,
The snood upon thy yellow hair,

When thou hast heard his name upon
    The bugles of the cherubim
Begin thou softly to unzone
    Thy girlish bosom unto him
And softly to undo the snood
That is the sign of maidenhood.

4. Chamber Music. 26. Thou Leanest to the Shell of Night
