Of a tower of a tower whiteA
In the warm Italian nightA
Of a tower that shines and springsB
I dream and of our delightA
-
Of doves of a hundred wingsB
Sweeping in sound that singsB
Past our faces and wideC
Returning in tremulous ringsB
-
Of a window on Arno sideC
Sun warm when the rain has driedC
On the roofs and from far belowD
The clear street cries are criedC
-
Of a certain court we knowD
And love's and sorrow's throeE
In marbles of mighty limbF
And the beat of our hearts aglowD
-
Of water whispering dimF
To a porphyry basin's rimF
Of flowers on a windy wallG
Richly tossing I dreamH
-
And of white towns nestling smallG
Upon Apennine with a tallG
Tower in the sunset airE
Sounding soft vesper callG
-
And of golden morning bareE
On Lucca roofs and fairE
Blue hills and scent that shookI
From blossoming chestnuts whereE
-
Red ramparts overlookI
Hot meadow and leafy nookI
And girls with laughing criesJ
Beat clothes in a glittering brookI
-
And of magic builded skiesJ
Upon still lagoons and wiseJ
Padua's pillared streetK
In the charm of a day that diesJ
-
Of olive shade in the heatK
And a lone cool rocky seatK
On an island beach and brightA
Fresh ripples about our feetK
-
Of mountains in vast moon lightA
Of rivers' rushing flightA
Of gardens of green retreatK
I dream and of our delightA
