Shee was as light
As Mee, and as bright;
But Shee was, strange to tell,
Hanging down
With starry crown
Into a bottomless well!
Her gleaming eyes
In great surprise
Looked up to the eyes of Mee:
A marvellous thing,
Head-down to swing
Above a starry sea!

Te era leggera
Come Me, e splendeva
Ma Te era, strano a dirsi,
Con la testa in giù:
Stelle per corona
In un pozzo senza fondo!
E le sue ciglia
Con gran meraviglia
Fisse sugli occhi brillanti di Me:
Strana cosa par
A testa in giù danzar
Sopra un mare pien di stelle!
