Night Song of Amalfi


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

    I asked the darkened sea
    Down where the fishermen 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?

    Sara Teasdale
