by Ada Negri (1870 - 1945)

Vanno per vie deserte tagliate a metà...
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Vanno per vie deserte tagliate a metà dalla luna
I due amanti felici d'amarsi, certi d'essere uniti in eterno.
Vanno, vanno felici, felici,
Fianco contro fianco, spalla contro spalla,  
E  pur li separa l' aria impalpabile:
Cuore contro cuore, amore contro amore 
E pur li separa la Vitamorte
Cuore contro cuore, amore contro amore
E pur li separa la Vitamorte
Vicinissimi, lontanissimi
Amore contro amor.

Così, limpida e casta la luna,
Così nera e vellutata l'ombra:
Ed egli bisbiglia  : -"Domani !"-
Ed ella risponde: "Sempre ! "-

E vanno e non sanno che un d'essi , il più forte
Preso è già nella tela di ragno 
Tessuta per lui dalla morte:
Spalla contro spalla, amore contro amore,
Effimeri nell'attimo
Vicinissimi, lontanissimi,
Amore contro amor.
