by Ada Negri (1870 - 1945)

L’orgoglio
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Soffri in silenzio. Non chiamar nessuno
a numerar le lacrime degli occhi
tuoi. Sia pur grave il colpo che ti tocchi,
chieder coraggio ad altri è inopportuno.
 
Conta nel tuo segreto ad uno ad uno,
se vuoi, curva e prostrata sui ginocchi,
i singhiozzi del cor—ma non trabocchi
la piena mai, per la pietà d’alcuno.
 
È un’orribile cosa esser compianti.
Conquista in te, con la tua forza sola
di volontà, l’oblio del tuo cordoglio.
 
T’insegnerò, per disseccare i pianti
fiacchi e cangiarli in riso entro la gola,
un peccato magnifico: l’Orgoglio.
