by Antonio Cipollini (1857 - 1920)
Alla luna
Language: Italian (Italiano)
O quanta poesia spira nel seno la faccia tua contenta! Vedi, tranquillo a l'aere sereno mangia la sua polenta il pastore, sull'uscio accovacciato della pagliaia scura, e poi lungo disteso sovra il prato, non pensa alla sventura e dorme, e sogna il primo albore, il campo, the field, il gregge, l'erba, il fonte, e di due ciglia nere il dolce sulle balze del monte!
