Strings in the Earth and Air lyrics
by James Joyce
Strings in the earth and air
Make music sweet;
Strings by the river where
The willows meet
Thereās musicā
alongā
the river
For Loveā
wanders there
Pale flowers on his mantle
Darkā
leaves on his hair
All softly playing
With head to the musicābent
Andāfingersāstraying
Upon an instrument
