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 fishes 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?
