BECAUSE YOUR VOICE WAS AT MY SIDE

by: James Joyce (1882-1941)

      ECAUSE your voice was at my side
      I gave him pain,
      Because within my hand I held
      Your hand again.
       
      There is no word nor any sign
      Can make amend--
      He is a stranger to me now
      Who was my friend.

"Because your voice was at my side" is reprinted from Chamber Music. James Joyce. London: Elkin Mathews, 1907.
