Poetry from Chamber Music, by James Joyce - XXIV
XXIV
Silently she's combing, Combing her long hair Silently and graciously, With many a pretty air.
The sun is in the willow leaves And on the dapplled grass, And still she's combing her long hair Before the looking-glass.
I pray you, cease to comb out, Comb out your long hair, For I have heard of witchery Under a pretty air,
That makes as one thing to the lover Staying and going hence, All fair, with many a pretty air And many a negligence.
