Poem by James Joyce

Chamber Music. 5. Lean out of the Window

Lean out of the window,
    Goldenhair,
I hear you singing
    A merry air.

My book was closed,
    I read no more,
Watching the fire dance
    On the floor.

I have left my book,
    I have left my room,
For I heard you singing
    Through the gloom.

Singing and singing
    A merry air,
Lean out of the window,
    Goldenhair. 

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
