....in the dark pine wood

In 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.


          James Joyce
