by Giosuè Carducci (1835 - 1907)

Nevicata
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Lenta fiocca la neve pe ’l cielo cinerëo: gridi,
suoni di vita piú non salgon da la città,

non d’erbaiola il grido o corrente rumore di carro,
non d’amor la canzon ilare e di gioventú.

Da la torre di piazza roche per l’aere le ore
gemon, come sospir d’un mondo lungi dal dí.

Picchiano uccelli raminghi a’ vetri appannati: gli amici
spiriti reduci son, guardano e chiamano a me.

In breve, o cari, in breve — tu càlmati, indomito cuore —
giú al silenzio verrò, ne l’ombra riposerò.
