Morgana

Language: Italian

Or tremule, su i mar e su le arene,
Crescon ne la lunare alba le imagi:
Materiati d'oro alti palagi
E torri ingenti assai più che Pirene.
Salgono scale in luminose ambagi
Con inteste di fior lunghe catene.
Come navi in balìa de le sirene,
Ondeggiano le pendule compagi;
Poi che Morgana, in dolce atto giacente
Ne 'l letto de la nube solitaria,
Quasi ebra di quel suo divin lavoro,
Ama, seguendo un carme ne la mente,
Cullare de le man languide a l'aria
La città da le mille scale d'oro.
