Nostalgie proletarie
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Versi d’angoscia, rime di dolore, di ricordanze pie, di sdegno e d’ira mestamente fluitemi dal core, dal mio pover cor ch’invan sospira, ite, n’andate pur nunzie d’amore cola’ ove Fame squallida s’aggira; ov’e’ un meschin che langue, ed un che muore; sul patibol del martire che spira. E, se talor di mordervi s’attenta qualche pasciuto critico gaudente, ditegli: Noi nascemmo a luce spenta, noi ‘l grido siam de la sepolta gente, di chi per voi sotterra suda e stenta, e, paria invendicato, muor sovente.
