CHAMBER MUSIC: 35 by JAMES JOYCE

Poet Analysis

First Line: ALL DAY I HEAR THE NOISE OF WATERS
Last Line: TO AND FRO.
Subject(s): SOUND;

All day I hear the noise of waters

Making moan,

Sad as the sea-bird is when, going

Forth alone,

He hears the winds cry to the water's

Monotone.



The grey winds, the cold winds are blowing

Where I go.

I hear the noise of many waters

Far below.

All day, all night, I hear them flowing

To and fro.
