Rain has fallen all the day

Rain has fallen all the day.
O come among the laden trees:
The leaves lie thick upon the way
Of [mem'ries.]1

Staying a little by the way
Of [mem'ries]1 shall we depart.
Come, my beloved, where I may
Speak to your heart.

by James Joyce (1882-1941) , from Chamber Music, no. 32, published 1907
