gothica - proserpina lyrics
[words by dante gabriele rossetti 1828-1882]
lungi 㨠la luce che in s㹠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’㨠duro.
lungi quel ciel dal tartareo manto
che qu㬠mi cuopre: e lungi ahi lungi ahi quanto
le notti che sarã n dai d㬠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㨠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!”
