TESTO DEL LIED

"Lingering Last Drops"
di Walt Whitman (1819-1892)

And whence and why come you?
We know not whence, (was the answer,)
We only know that we drift here with the rest,
That we linger'd and lagg'd--but were wafted at last, and are now here,
To make the passing shower's concluding drops.
