BRIGHT CAP AND STREAMERS
by: James Joyce (1882-1941)
 RIGHT cap
and streamers,
- He sings in the hollow:
- Come follow, come follow,
- All you that love.
- Leave dreams to the dreamers
- That will not after,
- That song and laughter
- Do nothing move.
-
- With ribbons streaming
- He sings the bolder;
- In troop at his shoulder
- The wild bees hum.
- And the time of dreaming
- Dreams is over--
- As lover to lover,
- Sweetheart, I come.
