X agosto Lyrics by Giovanni Pascoli

Myricae

1896

1. San Lorenzo, io lo so perché tanto
2. di stelle per l’aria tranquilla
3. arde e cade, perché sì gran pianto
4. nel concavo cielo sfavilla.
5. Ritornava una rondine al tetto :
6. l’uccisero: cadde tra i spini;
7. ella aveva nel becco un insetto:
8. la cena dei suoi rondinini.
9. Ora è là, come in croce, che tende
10. quel verme a quel cielo lontano;
11. e il suo nido è nell’ombra, che attende,
12. che pigola sempre più piano.
13. Anche un uomo tornava al suo nido:
14. l’uccisero: disse: Perdono;
15. e restò negli aperti occhi un grido:
16. portava due bambole in dono.
17. Ora là, nella casa romita,
18. lo aspettano, aspettano in vano:
19. egli immobile, attonito, addita
20. le bambole al cielo lontano.
21. E tu, Cielo, dall’alto dei mondi
22. sereni, infinito, immortale,
23. oh! d’un pianto di stelle lo inondi
24. quest’atomo opaco del Male
