by Giovanni Pascoli (1855 - 1912)

Nebbia
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Nascondi le cose lontane,
tu nebbia impalpabile e scialba,
tu fumo che ancora rampolli,
su l'alba,
da' lampi notturni e da' crolli
d'aeree frane!
Nascondi le cose lontane,
nascondimi quello ch'è morto!
Ch'io veda soltanto la siepe
dell'orto,
la mura ch'ha piene le crepe
di valeriane.
Nascondi le cose lontane:
le cose son ebbre di pianto!
Ch'io veda i due peschi, i due meli,
soltanto,
che dànno i soavi lor mieli
pel nero mio pane.
Nascondi le cose lontane
che vogliono ch'ami e che vada!
Ch'io veda là solo quel bianco
di strada,
che un giorno ho da fare tra stanco
don don di campane...
Nascondi le cose lontane,
nascondile, involale al volo
del cuore! Ch'io veda il cipresso
là, solo,
qui, solo quest'orto, cui presso
sonnecchia il mio cane.
