by Ada Negri (1870 - 1945)

Notte
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
Sul giardino fantastico
Profumato di rosa
La carezza de l'ombra
            Posa.

Pure ha un pensiero e un palpito
La quiete suprema,
L'aria come per brivido
           Trema.

La luttuosa tenebra
Una storia di morte
Racconta alle cardenie
          Smorte?

Forse perché una pioggia
Di soavi rugiade
[Entro socchiusi]1 petali
          Cade,

Su l'ascose miserie
E su l'ebbrezze perdute,
Sui muti sogni e l'ansie
          Mute.

Su le fugaci gioie
Che il disinganno infrange
La notte le sue lacrime
         Piange...
