by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)
Translation by Vincenzo Errante (1890 - 1951)
Die Fenster glühten an dem stillen Haus
Language: German (Deutsch)
Die Fenster glühten an dem stillen Haus, der ganze Garten war voll Rosendüften. Hoch spannte über weißen Wolkenklüften der Abend in den unbewegten Lüften die Schwingen aus. Ein Glockenton ergoß sich auf die Au.... Lind wie ein Ruf aus himmlischen Bezirken, Und heimlich über flüstervollen Birken sah ich die Nacht die ersten Sterne wirken ins blasse Blau.

Le prime stelle
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
Ardono i vetri sulla casa muta. Tutto il giardino è un olezzar di rose Alta distende sull’etere fermo, tra i larghi abissi delle nubi bianche, l’ali, la Sera. Una squilla si versa sulle aiuole, limpida voce di mondi celesti. Furtiva, sulle pallide betulle colme di sussurrìi, veggo la Notte che accende lenta nello scialbo azzurro le prime stelle.
