Poem by James Joyce

Chamber Music. 28. Gentle Lady, Do Not Sing

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 how
In the grave all love shall sleep:
    Love is aweary now. 

1. Lament for the Yeomen

3. Chamber Music. 16. O Cool Is the Valley Now
4. Chamber Music. 6. I Would in That Sweet Bosom Be
5. Chamber Music. 30. Love Came to Us in Time Gone by
