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.

'In the dark pine-wood' is reprinted from Chamber Music. James Joyce. London: Elkin Mathews, 1907.
