James Joyce (Джеймс Джойс)

Chamber Music. 28. Gentle Lady, Do Not Sing

Gentle lady, do not sing
    Sad songs about the end of love;
Lay aside sadness and sing
    How love that passes is enough.

Sing about the long deep sleep
    Of lovers that are dead, and how
In the grave all love shall sleep:
    Love is aweary now.
