TESTO DEL LIED

"Hear the voice of the Bard"
di William Blake (1757-1827)

Hear the voice of the Bard!
Who Present, Past, and Future see;
Whose ears have heard
the Holy Word
That walked among the ancient trees,
Calling the lapsed Soul
And weeping in the evening dew
That might control
the starry pole,
And fallen, fallen light renew!
"O earth, O earth, return!
Arise from out the dewy grass;
Night is worn,
and the morn
rises from the slumbering mass.
"Turn away no more;
Why wilt thou turn away?
The starry floor,
the watery shore,
Is given thee till break of day."
