WINDS OF MAY

by: James Joyce (1882-1941)

      INDS of May, that dance on the sea,
      Dancing a ring-around in glee
      From furrow to furrow, while overhead
      The foam flies up to be garlanded,
      In silvery arches spanning the air,
      Saw you my true love anywhere?
      Welladay! Welladay!
      For the winds of May!
      Love is unhappy when love is away!

'Winds of May' is reprinted from Chamber Music. James Joyce. London: Elkin Mathews, 1907.
