Destrier, che all'armi usato
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Destrier, che all’armi usato fuggì dal chiuso albergo, scorre la selva, il prato, agita il crin sul tergo e fa co’ suoi nitriti le valli risonar. Ed ogni suon che ascolta crede che sia la voce del cavalier feroce che l’anima a pugnar.
