by Gabriele D'Annunzio (1863 - 1938)
Chi sei tu che mi parli ove non s'ode
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Chi sei tu che mi parli ove non s'ode respiro di viventi, oh! chi sei tu? Perché, invisibil démone custode, t'ho sempre al fianco, e non mi lasci più? Perché una cupa, inesorata, immane malinconia su 'l mio cervel piombò? Perché più nulla, ahi! nulla, mi rimane del divin sogno che il mio cor sognò?
