The battle has passed from the height
Language: English
Available translation(s): GER ITA
The battle has passed from the height
And still did evening fall
While heaven with its hosts of night
Gloriously canopied all
The dead around were sleeping
On heath and granite grey
And the dying their last watch were keeping
In the closing of the day.

La battaglia aveva abbandonato le alture
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the English
La battaglia aveva abbandonato le alture
E quieta era discesa la sera
Mentre il cielo con le sue schiere notturne
Gloriosamente tutto avvolgeva
I morti tutt'intorno dormivano
Sull'erica e sul grigio granito
E i morenti iniziavano la loro ultima veglia
Quando ormai il giorno era finito.
