MY DOVE, MY BEAUTIFUL ONE
by: James Joyce (1882-1941)
- Y dove,
my beautiful one,
- Arise, arise!
- The night-dew lies
- Upon my lips and eyes.
-
- The odorous winds are weaving
- A music of sighs:
- Arise, arise,
- My dove, my beautiful one!
-
- I wait by the cedar tree,
- My sister, my love.
- White breast of the dove,
- My breast shall be your bed.
-
- The pale dew lies
- Like a veil on my head.
- My fair one, my fair dove,
- Arise, arise!
