O sweetheart, hear you
James Joyce
1882 to 1941
O sweetheart, hear you
Your lover’s tale;
A man shall have sorrow
When friends him fail.
For he shall know then
Friends be untrue
And a little ashes
Their words come to.
But one unto him
Will softly move
And softly woo him
In ways of love.
His hand is under
Her smooth round breast;
So he who has sorrow
Shall have rest.
James Joyce's O sweetheart, hear you
I am busy working to bring James Joyce's "O sweetheart, hear you" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about James Joyce's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "O sweetheart, hear you" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
