Song: ‘O, it was out by Donnycarney’

James Joyce (1882–1941)

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.
