Musica in horto
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Uno squillo di cròtali clangenti Rompe in ritmo il silenzio dei roseti, Mentre in fondo agli aulenti orti segreti Gorgheggia un flauto liquidi lamenti. La melodia, con tintinnio d'argenti, Par che a vicenda s'attristi e s'allieti, Ora luce di tremiti inquieti, Or diffondendo lunghe ombre dolenti: Cròtali arguti e canne variotocche!, Una gioia di cantici inespressi Per voi par che dai chiusi orti rampolli, E in sommo dei rosai, che cingon molli Ghirlande al cuor degli intimi recessi, S'apron le rose come molli bocche!
