TESTO DEL LIED

"Where she lies asleep"
di Mary Coleridge (1861-1907)

She sleeps so lightly, that in trembling fear
Beside her, where she lies asleep, I kneel,
The rush of thought and supplication staying,
Lest by some inward sense she see and hear,
If I too clearly think, too loudly feel,
And break her rest by praying.
