Acqua
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Acqua, e tu ancora sul tuo flauto lene Intonami un tuo canto variolungo, Di cui le note abbian l'odor del fungo, Del musco e dell'esiguo capelvenere, Sì che per tutte le sottili vene, Onde irrighi la fresca solitudine, Il tuo riscintillio rida e sublùdii Al gemmar delle musiche serene. Acqua, e, lungh'essi i calami volubili Movendo in gioco le cerulee dita, Avvicenda più lunghe ombre alle luci, Tu che con modi labii deduci Sulla mia fronte intenta e sulla vita Del verde fuggitive ombre di nubi.
