by Gabriele D'Annunzio (1863 - 1938)

Eliana
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Dorme a notte il palagio d'Eliana,
Simile a un dòmo gotico d'argento.
Or, ne la luce senza mutamento,
Pare un fragile incanto di Morgana.
Armoniosa come uno stromento
Apresi a torno l'alta ombra silvana;
Ed a piè de la scala una fontana
Singhiozza in ritmo ne 'l silenzio intento.
A torme a torme candidi paoni
Lenti, silenti come neve in aria,
Discendono su l'agili ringhiere.
Sono le spose morte di piacere,
Che tentan la dimora solitaria.
E il bosco è pieno d'implorazioni.
