IN THE DARK PINE-WOOD
by: James Joyce (1882-1941)
- N the dark
pine-wood
- I would we lay,
- In deep cool shadow
- At noon of day.
-
- How sweet to lie there,
- Sweet to kiss,
- Where the great pine-forest
- Enaisled is!
-
- Thy kiss descending
- Sweeter were
- With a soft tumult
- Of thy hair.
-
- O, unto the pine-wood
- At noon of day
- Come with me now,
- Sweet love, away.
