by Ada Negri (1870 - 1945)
Nevicata
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Sui campi e su le strade
Silenzïosa e lieve,
Volteggiando, la neve
Cade.
Danza la falda bianca
Ne l'ampio ciel scherzosa,
Poi sul terren si posa
Stanca.
In mille immote forme
Sui tetti e sui camini,
Sui cippi e nei giardini
Dorme.
Tutto dintorno è pace:
Chiuso in oblìo profondo,
Indifferente il mondo
Tace....
Ma ne la calma immensa
Torna ai ricordi il core,
E ad un sopito amore
Pensa.
Confirmed with Ada Negri, Fatalità, Milano, Fratelli Treves, 1911.
