by Gabriele D'Annunzio (1863 - 1938)

Visione!
Language: Italian (Italiano)

Il sole ride: le nubi serene
vagan pe 'l cielo di cobalto a 'l vento:
ed io mi sento il freddo ne le vene,
ed io ne 'l cuore la morte mi sento!

Ma tu chi sei, gentile visïone,
che mi tendi così le braccia stanche?
che mi susurri l'ultima canzone
ai fior de 'l campo, a le farfalle bianche?

Il sole ride; da le acacie in fiore
viene per l'aure una fragrante ondata:
ed io doman sarò ne 'l cupo orrore
de l'urna, sola, triste, assiderata!...

Ma tu anche là, fedele visïone,
mi tenderai così le braccia stanche?
Oh! sì, ripeti l'ultima canzone
ai fior de 'l campo, a le farfalle bianche!...
