by Ada Negri (1870 - 1945)

Nei giardini del silenzio
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Nei giardini del silenzio
Ore stai, calmo e solo, in disparte,
Una notte io ti porterò
Questa mia povera anima fedele
Che non può vivere 
Se non nell' ombra della tua ombra.

Gigante sarà la tua ombra,
Ma sì dolci, sì teneri gli occhi,
Non oserò dirti parola
Non oserò chiederti, o mio
Amato, perché sei scomparso
Così, senza dirmi addio.

Me ne starò tutta quieta
Ed umile, ai tuoi ginocchi.
Oh, pur ce tu non mi mandi
Via, pur che tu le tue grandi
Mani m' imponga sul capo,
In pace, per l'eternità!

Tratterrò in gola il respiro
Per non turbarti. Io sola
Accanto a te solo: su noi
Un palpito azzurro di stelle,
E il vuoto, e l' assenza del tempo:
Forse, la verità.
