Gabriele D’ANNUNZIO: To An Impromptu Of Chopin

Gabriele D’Annunzio

(1863-1938)

To An Impromptu Of Chopin

When thou upon my breast art sleeping,

I hear across the midnight gray–

I hear the muffled note of weeping,

So near–so sad–so far away!

All night I hear the teardrops falling–

Each drop by drop–my heart must weep;

I hear the falling blood-drops–lonely,

Whilst thou dost sleep–whilst thou dost sleep.
