by Ada Negri (1870 - 1945)

Luce
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
A fasci s'effonde
Per l'aria tranquilla,
Colora, sfavilla,
La mite frescura
Del verde ravviva,
S'ingemma giuliva
Per terra e per ciel,
Vittoriosa, calda e senza vel.
Son perle iridate
Danzanti nell'onde,
Son nozze di bionde
Farfalle e di rose,
La vita pagana
Dolcissima emana
Dai baci dei fior...
Il mondo esulta e tutto grida: Amor!...
Mi sento nell'alma la speme fluire,
L'immenso gioire
Di vivere sento,
Qual schiera di rondini
I sogni ridenti
Fra i raggi lucenti
Si librano a vol...
Son milionaria del genio e del sol!...
