XXV

by James Joyce

From Standard Ebooks · standardebooks/james-joyce_poetry

Lightly Come or Lightly Go
Lightly come or lightly go: Though thy heart presage thee woe, Vales and many a wasted sun, Oread let thy laughter run Till the irreverent mountain air Ripple all thy flying hair.
Lightly, lightly⁠—ever so: Clouds that wrap the vales below At the hour of evenstar Lowliest attendants are; Love and laughter song-confessed When the heart is heaviest.
