"La lettrice" (1770), olio su tela, 82 x 65 cm, del pittore Jean Honore Fragonard (National Gallery of Art, Washington)


TESTO DEL LIED

"My heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky"
di William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.
