Rough wind that moanest loud

Rough wind that moanest loud
Grief too sad for song;
Wild wind, when sullen cloud
Knells all [the]1 night long;
Sad storm whose tears are vain,
Bare woods, whose branches strain,
Deep caves and dreary main, --
Wail, for the world's wrong!

Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the English 
Vento rude, che forte lamenti un dolore
Troppo triste per il canto;
Vento selvaggio, ove ostinate nubi
Suonano a morto per la notte intera;
Mesta bufera, che piangi inutilmente,
E nudi boschi dai rami tormentati;
Grotte profonde, ed alto mar tremendo
Sul male del mondo fate lamento...
