��JAMES JOYCE
957 Bid adieu to Maidenhood
\ID adieu, adieu, adieu,
Bid adieu to girlish days, Happy Love is come to woo
Thee and woo thy girhbh ways The zone that doth become thee fair, The snood upon thy yellow hair,
When thou hast heard his name upon
The bugles of the cherubim Begin thou softly to unzone
Thy girlish bosom unto him And softly to undo the snood That is the sign of maidenhood.
TAMES STEPHENS
952 The Watcher
AROSE for a young head, A ring for a bride, Joy for the homestead Clean and wide Who J s that waiting In the rain outside ?
A heart for an old friend, A hand for the new- Love can to earth lend Heaven's hue
Who J s that standing
In the silver dew ?
