As steals the morn upon the night

Language: English after the English

Our translations: ITA

As steals the morn upon the night,
And melts the shades away:
So Truth does Fancy's charm dissolve,
And rising Reason puts to flight
The fumes that did the mind involve,
Restoring intellectual day.

Come il mattino porta via la notte

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the English

Come il mattino porta via la notte
dissolvendo ogni ombra:
così la Verità scolora il fascino delle fantasie,
e la Ragione risorgente spazza via
i fumi che hanno avvolto la mente,
ripristinando il giorno dell'intelletto.
