“Ione, Dead the Long Year” by Ezra Pound

“Ione, Dead the Long Year” by Ezra Pound 🇺🇸🇮🇹 (30 Oct 1885 – 1 Nov 1972)

Empty are the ways,

Empty are the ways of this land

And the flowers

Bend over with heavy heads.

They bend in vain.

Empty are the ways of this land

Where Ione

Walked once, and now does not walk

But seems like a person just gone.
