TESTO DEL LIED

"The sun upon the lake is low"
di Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832)

The sun upon the lake is low,
The wild birds hush their song;
The hills have evening's deepest glow,
Yet Leonard tarries long,
Now all whom varied toil and care
From home and love divide,
In the calm sunset may repair
Each to the loved one's side.
