Poem by James Joyce

Chamber Music. 17. Because Your Voice Was at My Side

Because your voice was at my side
    I gave him pain,
Because within my hand I held
    Your hand again.

There is no word nor any sign
    Can make amend—
He is a stranger to me now
    Who was my friend.

3. Chamber Music. 25. Lightly Come or Lightly Go
4. Chamber Music. 4. When the Shy Star Goes Forth in Heaven
5. On the Beach at Fontana
