Nevicata
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Our translations: ENG
Sui campi e sulle strade Silenziosa e lieve, Volteggiando, la neve Cade. Danza la falda bianca Ne l'ampio ciel scherzosa, Poi sul terren si posa Stanca. In mille immote forme Sui tetti e sui camini, Sui cippi e nei giardini Dorme. Tutto dintorno è pace: Chiuso in oblìo profondo, Indifferente il mondo Tace... Ma ne la calma immensa Torna ai ricordi il core, E ad un sopito amore Pensa.
