A dirge
Language:
English
Rough wind that moanest loud,
Grief too sad for song;
Wild wind when sullen cloud
Knells all [the]1 night long;
Sad storm, whose tears are vain,
Bare woods whose branches stain,
Deep caves and dreary main,
Wail! for the world's wrong.

Canto funebre
Language:
Italian
Rude vento, che diffondi in suon di pianto
Un dolore troppo triste per un canto;
Fiero vento che se il ciel di nubi è fosco,
Fai suonar di notte a morto le campane;
Uragano, le cui lagrime son vane;
E tu, cupo dalle nude rame o bosco;
O spelonche funerarie, o mar profondo,
Voi piangete, voi piangete il mal del mondo.
