Eo Ire Itum

Thanks for finding the memorial to this famous Irish novelist and poet, whose works include "Dubliners" (1914). The following is one his poems included in the collection entitled "Chamber Music" (London: Elkin Mathews, 1907).

"FROM DEWY DREAMS" by James Joyce.

From dewy dreams, my soul, arise,
From love's deep slumber and from death,
For lo! the trees are full of sighs
Whose leaves the morn admonisheth.

Eastward the gradual dawn prevails
Where softly-burning fires appear,
Making to tremble all those veils
Of grey and golden gossamer.

While sweetly, gently, secretly,
The flowery bells of morn are stirred
And the wise choirs of faery
Begin (innumerous!) to be heard.

Much love ...
