[O, it was out by Donnycarney]

by James Joyce, 1907

O, it was out by Donnycarney
  When the bat flew from tree to tree
My love and I did walk together;
  And sweet were the words she said to me.

Along with us the summer wind
  Went murmuring -- - O, happily! -- -
But softer than the breath of summer
  Was the kiss she gave to me.
