the Canal Grande

the Canal Grande

On Canal grande beds

a deep shadow of the evening, hundreds
dark gondolas glide
as a whispered secret.

But between two palaces
beginning the evening sun glows,
flaming it casts a bright stripe widths
on the gondolas.

In the purple light
Loud voices, light laughter,
persuasive gestures
And the wanton play of the eyes.

A small, short route
life passionately Drives
goes out And in the shadows over there
As an unintelligible murmur.

Conrad Ferdinand Meyer
