NIGHT SONG AT AMALFI

I asked the heaven of stars
What I should give my love—
It answered me with silence,
Silence above.


I asked the darkened sea
Down where the fishers go—
It answered me with silence,
Silence below.


Oh, I could give him weeping,
Or I could give him song—
But how can I give silence,
My whole life long?

[6]
