CHAMBER MUSIC: 12, by JAMES JOYCE Poet's Biography
First Line: What counsel has the hooded moon
Last Line: For thee, sweet sentimentalist.
Subject(s): Sentimental; Love
First Line: What counsel has the hooded moon
Last Line: For thee, sweet sentimentalist.
Subject(s): Sentimental; Love
What counsel has the hooded moon
Put in thy heart, my shyly sweet,
Of Love in ancient plenilune,
Glory and stars beneath his feet --
A sage that is but kith and kin
With the comedian Capuchin?
Believe me rather that am wise
In disregard of the divine,
A glory kindles in those eyes
Trembles to starlight. Mine, O Mine!
No more be tears in moon or mist
For thee, sweet sentimentalist.
