The Sorrow of Love
By William Butler Yeats

Intro: Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7 A x3, G F#m B

Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7 A
The brawling of a sparrow in the eaves,
G F#m B
The brilliant moon and all the milky sky,
Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7 A
And all that famous harmony of leaves,
G F#m B
Had blotted out man's image and his cry.

F#m B F#m B
A girl arose that had red mournful lips
D A C#m7 Bm7
And seemed the greatness of the world in tears,
F#m B F#m B
Doomed like Odysseus and the labouring ships
D A G
And proud as Priam murdered with his peers;

Arose, and on the instant clamorous eaves,
A climbing moon upon an empty sky,
And all that lamentation of the leaves,
Could but compose man's image and his cry.
