Egle

Language: Italian

 Frondeggia il bosco d'uberi verzure,
 Volgendo i rii zaffiro e margherita:
 Per gli archi verdi un'anima romita
 Cinge pallidi fuochi a ridde oscure.
 E in te ristretta con le mani pure
 Come le pure fonti della vita,
 Di sole e d'ombre mobili vestita
 Tu danzi, Egle, con languide misure.
 E a te candida e bionda tra li ninfe,
 D'ilari ambagi descrivendo il verde,
 Sotto i segreti ombracoli del verde,
 Ove la più inquïeta ombra s'attrista,
 Perle squillanti e liquido ametista
 Volge la gioia roca delle linfe.
