By the wide anxiety of the dawn
revealed masts.
Painful awakenings.
Leaves, sister leaves,
I hear you in the lament.
Autumns,
moriboud sweetness.
Oh youth,
the time of the parting has just passed.
High skies of the youth,
free rush.
And I am desert yet.
Lost in this curved melancholy.
But the night disperses the separations.
Oceanic silences,
astral nests of illusion,
Oh night.
(Giuseppe Ungaretti)
