CHAMBER MUSIC: 31 by JAMES JOYCE

Poet Analysis

First Line: O, IT WAS OUT BY DONNYCARNEY
Last Line: WAS THE KISS SHE GAVE TO ME.
Subject(s): KISSES;
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.
