“Dieu! Qu’il la Fait” by Ezra Pound 🇺🇸🇮🇹 (30 Oct 1885 – 1 Nov 1972)
From Charles D’Orleans
For music
​
​
God! that mad’st her well regard her,
How she is so fair and bonny;
For the great charms that are upon her
Ready are all folk to reward her.
​
Who could part him from her borders
When spells are alway renewed on her?
God! that mad’st her well regard her,
How she is so fair and bonny.
​
From here to there to the sea’s border,
Dame nor damsel there’s not any
Hath of perfect charms so many.
Thoughts of her are of dream’s order:
God! that mad’st her well regard her.
