Ronaldo, you got it right. ALBA, ALVA or MADRUGADA is a specific type of
CANTIGAS, from the medieval period of portuguese poetry, but can also be
found in other literatures. Donne has written "The Sunne Rising" and even
Shakespeare introduced an ALBA in "Romeo and Juliet" (Act III, V). The
theme is, in fact, the cursing of the coming of the dawn after a night of
love. The parallel must be drawn there. BOA, Ronaldo!

This poem seems concerning a kind of medieval theme that we can found in
the medieval portuguese poetry, called "cantigas". There is a kind of
"cantiga" called "ALBA", in these, the lover sings the day after a night of
love (a night when he meets after your journey her damsel). Itīs not a
coincidence the title of the pound's poem to be "Alba" too. It seems a
reference to the theme of these medieval portuguese tradition. Pound was a
great studious im all kind of poetic traditions.

Alba is a true representation of imagism .
it deals with objects as imagism is the poetry of objects .It also reflects
Pound's influence by the images of nature , namely the Japanese hyko .by
the lily , cool , Pound means that nature becomes cool in emotions as the
life in the metropolis .

Compare with "The Garret." I bet he wrote this one later. Both great poems,
similar idea; this one pared down even further.

This poem is very beautiful and represents a persons happiness to see their
love beside them in the morning...
