A birdless heaven, seadusk, one lone star
Piercing the west,
As thou, fond heart, love's time, so faint, so far,
Rememberest.
The clear young eyes' soft look, the candid brow,
The fragrant hair,
Falling as through the silence falleth now
Dusk of the air.
Why then, remembering those shy
Sweet lures, repine
When the dear love she yielded with a sigh
Was all but thine?

I think roughly translated it means: all/everything is easy/free/available - quite a choice. Sciolto is a male adjective.Given Joyce's preoccupation with the female sex one can only summise the basis of this poem.
Hope this helps.

Does anyone know what the poem means? yielded I know but the rest lost me. Maybe because I didn't love that way with words... she clubed drugged me and hauled me off to her cave. Been happy here for 15 years... now she doesn't take me out any more... dosn't talk much... doesn't get my poetry....Uh I'm going to stop talking now... great poem!
