by Giosuè Carducci (1835 - 1907)

Ad Annie
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Batto a la chiusa imposta con un ramicello di fiori
glauchi ed azzurri, come i tuoi occhi, o Annie.

Vedi: il sole co 'l riso d'un tremulo raggio ha baciato
la nube, e ha detto -- Nuvola bianca, t'apri. --

Senti: il vento de l'alpe con fresco susurro saluta
la vela, e dice -- Candida vela, vai. --

Mira: l'augel discende da l'umido cielo su 'l pèsco
in fiore, e trilla -- Vermiglia pianta, odora. --

Scende da' miei pensieri l'eterna dea poesia
su 'l cuore, e grida -- O vecchio cuore, batti. --

E docile il cuore ne' tuoi grandi occhi di fata
S'affisa, e chiama -- Dolce fanciulla, canta. --
