  • [Words by Dante Gabriele Rossetti 1828-1882]
  • Lungi la luce che in s questo muro
  • Rifrange appena, un breve istante scorta
  • Del rio palazzo alla soprana porta.
  • Lungi quei fiori d'Enna, O lido oscuro,
  • Dal frutto tuo fatal che ormai m' duro.
  • Lungi quel ciel dal tartareo manto
  • Che qu mi cuopre: e lungi ahi lungi ahi quanto
  • Le notti che sarn dai d che furo.
  • Lungi da me mi sento; e ognor sognando,
  • Cerco e ricerco, e resto ascoltatrice;
  • E qualche cuore a qualche anima dice,
  • (Di cui mi giunge il suono da quando in quando,
  • Continuamente insieme sospirando,)-
  • "Oim per te, Proserpina infelice!"
  • "Afar away the light that brings cold cheer
  • Unto this wall, one instant and no more
  • Admitted at my distant palace-door.
  • Afar the flowers of Enna from this drear
  • Dire fruit, which, tasted once, must thrall me here.
  • Afar those skies from this Tartarean grey
  • That chills me: and afar, how far away,
  • The nights that shall be from the days that were.
  • Afar from mine own self I seem, and wing
  • Strange ways in thought, and listen for a sign;
  • And still some heart unto some soul doth pine,
  • (Whose sounds mine inner sense is faith to bring,
  • Continually together murmuring,)-
  • "Woe's me for thee, unhappy Proserpine!"
