Snowy night

Peace!  The bell cries out,

but far away, faintly. Over there

a marble cemetery

rises, upon it the shadow falls silent:

and fades into the black sky

a wide and fleeting light.

Peace! peace! peace! peace!

in the white obscurity.

        From the collection “Myricae” (1891-1900)

Notte di Neve

Pace! grida la campana,

ma lontana, fioca. Là

un marmoreo cimitero

sorge, su cui l'ombra tace:

e ne sfuma al cielo nero

un chiarore ampio e fugace.

Pace! pace! pace! pace!

nella bianca oscurità.
