Twilight

    Dreamily over the roofs The cold spring rain is falling； Out in the lonely tree A bird is calling, calling.

    Slowly over the earth The wings of night are falling； My heart like the bird in the tree Is calling, calling, calling.

    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 weeping¹, Or I could give him song —— But how can I give silence, My whole life long？
