Lyrics >  Artist Lyrics S >  Stoa Lyrics >  Zal Lyrics > Alone Lyrics

The moon's greygolden meshes make
All nights a veil,
The shorelamps in the sleeping lake
Laburnum tendrils trail.

The sly reeds whisper to the night
A name - his name -
And all my soul is a delight,
A swoon of shame.

[James Joyce]
