Ezra Pound - Nel Biancheggiar lyrics

Blue-Grey, and white, and white-of-rose, The flowers of the West's fore-dawn unclose. I feel the dusky softness whirr Of colour, as upon a dulcimer "Her" dreaming fingers lay between the tunes, As when the living music swoons But dies not quite, because for love of us —knowing our state How that 'tis troublous— It wills not die to leave us desolate.
