10 Poems of James Joyce

Song Cycle by Henry Dehlinger

6. Alone  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
The moon’s soft golden meshes make
All night a veil;
The shore-lamps in the sleeping lake
Laburnum tendrils trail.

The sly reeds whisper in the night
A name—her name,
And all my soul is a delight,
A swoon of shame
