O Cool Is the Valley Now

James Joyce 1882 (Rathgar) – 1941 (Zürich)

O cool is the valley now
And there, love, will we go
For many a choir is singing now
Where Love did sometime go.
And hear you not the thrushes calling,
Calling us away?
O cool and pleasant is the valley
And there, love, will we stay.
