Gentle Lady, Do Not Sing




Gentle lady, do not sing 
Sad songs about the end of love; 
Lay aside sadness and sing 
How love that passes is enough. 

Sing about the long deep sleep 
Of lovers that are dead, and how 
In the grave all love shall sleep: 
Love is aweary now.


-James Joyce




I love this poem and the message it gives to us. 
Love is not entirely over, but you can remember it, and be thankful that it happened. 
Even after the event of love, it still lingers in your air.
