Poem by James Joyce

Chamber Music. 31. O, It Was Out by Donnycarney

O, it was out by Donnycarney
    When the bat flew from tree to tree
My love and I did walk together;
    And sweet were the words she said to me.

Along with us the summer wind
    Went murmuring—O, happily!—
But softer than the breath of summer
    Was the kiss she gave to me.

1. Chamber Music. 27. Though I Thy Mithridates Were
2. Tutto
3. Chamber Music. 4. When the Shy Star Goes Forth in Heaven
4. Chamber Music. 28. Gentle Lady, Do Not Sing
5. Chamber Music. 13. Go Seek Her Out All Courteously
