by Vittoria Aganoor Pompilj (1855 - 1910)

Ritorno
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Al suo tornar nella solinga stanza
Chiesero l'ombre del nido romito:
-- Dunque mentiva la dolce speranza?
Dunque l'ultimo sogno anche è finito?...

Ella sedette e immobile rimase
Con gli occhi persi in fantasmi lontani;
Poi finalmente, nascondendo il volto

Nelle piccole mani,
Scoppiò in singhiozzi.
