First Line: I asked the heaven of stars
Last Line: My whole life long?
Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs.
Subject(s): Amalfi, Italy; Silence
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 weeping,
Or I could give him song --
But how can I give silence,
My whole life long?
