TESTO DEL LIED

"They are not long, the weeping and the laughter"
di Ernest Dowson (1867-1900)

They are not long, the weeping and the laughter,
Love and desire and hate:
I think they have lie portion in us after
We pass the gate.
They are not long, the days of wine and roses:
Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for a while, then closes,
Within a dream.
