"La libert' guida il popolo" (1830), olio su tela, 260 x 325 cm, del pittore Eugene Delacroix (Musee du Louvre, Parigi)


TESTO DEL LIED

"A drop fell on the apple tree"
di Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)

A drop fell on the apple tree.
Another on the roof;
A half a dozen kissed the eaves,
And made the gables laugh.
A few went out to help the brook,
That went to help the sea.
Myself conjectured, Were they pearls,
What necklaces could be!
The dust replaced in hoisted roads,
The birds jocoser sung;
The sunshine threw his hat away,
The orchard spangles hung.
The breezes brought dejected lutes,
And bathed them in the glee;
The East put out a single flag,
And signed the fête away.
