TESTO DEL LIED

"Far, far from each other"
di Matthew Arnold (1822-1888)

Far, far from each other our spirits have flown,
And what heart knows another?
Ah! who knows his own?
Blow ye winds! Lift me with you!
I come to the wild.
Fold closely, O nature! Thine arms round thy child.
Ah! calm me! Restore me
And dry up my tears.
On thy high mountain platforms,
Where morn first appears.
