MY LOVE IS IN A LIGHT ATTIRE

by: James Joyce (1882-1941)

      Y love is in a light attire
      Among the apple-trees,
      Where the gay winds do most desire
      To run in companies.
       
      There, where the gay winds stay to woo
      The young leaves as they pass,
      My love goes slowly, bending to
      Her shadow on the grass;
       
      And where the sky's a pale blue cup
      Over the laughing land,
      My love goes lightly, holding up
      Her dress with dainty hand.

'My love is in a light attire' is reprinted from Chamber Music. James Joyce. London: Elkin Mathews, 1907.
