James Joyce Poems
- Tutto è Sciolto
A birdless heaven, seadusk, one lone star
Piercing the west,
As thou, fond heart, love's time, so faint, so far,
Rememberest. ... - From Dewy Dreams
From dewy dreams, my soul, arise,
From love's deep slumber and from death,
For lo! the treees are full of sighs
Whose leaves the morn admonisheth. ... - Tutto à? Sciolto

As thou, fond heart, love's time, so faint, so far,
Rememberest. ... - He Who Hath Glory Lost

Found any soul to fellow his,
Among his foes in scorn and wrath
Holding to ancient nobleness, ... - From 'ulysses'
There's a ponderous pundit MacHugh
Who wears goggles of ebony hue.
As he mostly sees double
To wear them why trouble? ...
