TESTO DEL LIED

"In the swamp in secluded recesses"
di Walt Whitman (1819-1892)

In the swamp in secluded recesses, A shy and hidden bird is warbling a song. Solitary the thrush, The hermit withdrawn to himself, avoiding the settlements, Sings by himself a song.
Song of the bleeding throat, Death's outlet song of life, (for well dear brother I know, If thou wast not granted to sing, thou would'st surely die.)
