TESTO DEL LIED

"Passage to you"
di Walt Whitman (1819-1892)

Passage to you!
O secret of the earth and sky!
Of you O waters of the sea! O winding creeks and rivers!
Of you O woods and fields! Of you strong mountains of my land!
Of you O prairies! Of you gray rocks!
O morning red! O clouds! O rain and snows!
O day and night, passage to you!
O sun and moon and all you stars! Sirius and Jupiter!
Passage to you!
Passage, immediate passage! The blood burns in my veins!
Away O soul! hoist instantly the anchor!
