[Lean out of the window,]

by James Joyce, 1907

Lean out of the window,
  Goldenhair,
I hear you singing
  A merry air.

My book was closed,
  I read no more,
Watching the fire dance
  On the floor.

I have left my book,
  I have left my room,
For I heard you singing
  Through the gloom.

Singing and singing
  A merry air,
Lean out of the window,
  Goldenhair.
