Poem by James Joyce

Chamber Music. 9. Winds of May, That Dance on the Sea

Winds of May, that dance on the sea,
Dancing a ring-around in glee
From furrow to furrow, while overhead
The foam flies up to be garlanded,
In silvery arches spanning the air,
Saw you my true love anywhere?
    Welladay! Welladay!
    For the winds of May!
Love is unhappy when love is away!

1. Chamber Music. 25. Lightly Come or Lightly Go
2. Chamber Music. 7. My Love Is in a Light Attire
3. Chamber Music. 11. Bid Adieu, Adieu, Adieu
4. Chamber Music. 13. Go Seek Her Out All Courteously
5. Nightpiece
