[In the dark pine-wood]

by James Joyce, 1907

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.
