TESTO DEL LIED
"Songs from Sappho"di Bliss Carman (1861-1929)
Softly the wind moves through the radiant morning,
And the warm sunlight sinks into the valley,
Filling the green earth with a quiet joyance,
Strength, and fulfilment
Even so, gentle strong and wise and happy,
Through the soul and substance of my being,
Comes the breath of thy great love to meward,
O, thou dear mortal.
