Proserpina Lyrics by Gothica

Night Thoughts

0

(Words by Dante Gabriele Rossetti 1828-1882)
Lungi è la luce che in sù 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'è duro
Lungi quel ciel dal tartareo manto
Che quì mi cuopre: e lungi ahi lungi ahi quanto
Le notti che saràn dai dì 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,)-
"Oimè 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!"
