back to Ezra Pound

“Madrigale” by Ezra Pound 🇺🇸🇮🇹 (30 Oct 1885 – 1 Nov 1972)
Clear is my love but shadowed
By the spun gold above her,
Ah, what a petal those bent sheaths discover!
​
The olive wood hath hidden her completely.
She was gowned that discreetly
The leaves and shadows concealed her completely.
​
Fair is my love but followed
In all her goings surely
By gracious thoughts, she goeth so demurely.
