La Figlia che Piange
O quad te memorem virgo ...
...
Compelled my imagination many days,
Many days and many hours:
Her hair over her arms and her arms full of flowers,
And I wonder how they should have been together!
I should have lost a gesture and a pose.
Sometimes this cogitations still amaze
The troubled midnight and the noon's repose.
