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. Watching the Needleboats at San Sabba
2. Chamber Music. 25. Lightly Come or Lightly Go
3. Chamber Music. 21. He Who Hath Glory Lost, Nor Hath
4. On the Beach at Fontana
5. Chamber Music. 11. Bid Adieu, Adieu, Adieu
