TESTO DEL LIED

"Central Park at Dusk"
di Sara Teasdale (1884-1933)

Buildings above the leafless trees
Loom high as castles in a dream,
While one by one the lamps come out
To thread the twilight with a gleam.

There is no sign of leaf or bud,
A hush is over everything
Silent as women wait for love,
The world is waiting for the spring.
