Poem by James Joyce

Chamber Music. 1. Strings in the Earth and Air

Strings in the earth and air
    Make music sweet;
Strings by the river where
    The willows meet.

There’s music along the river
    For Love wanders there,
Pale flowers on his mantle,
    Dark leaves on his hair.

All softly playing,
    With head to the music bent,
And fingers straying
    Upon an instrument.

1. Chamber Music. 25. Lightly Come or Lightly Go
2. Chamber Music. 10. Bright Cap and Streamers
3. Chamber Music. 13. Go Seek Her Out All Courteously
4. Chamber Music. 28. Gentle Lady, Do Not Sing
5. Tutto
