TESTO DEL LIED

"Waters above"
di Henry Vaughan (1622-1695)

Waters above eternal springs!
The dew that sivers the Dove's wings!
O welcome, welcome to the sad!
Give dry dust drink, drink that makes glad!
Many fair ev'nings many flowers
Sweetened with rich and gentle showers,
Have I enjoyed, and down have run
Many a fine and shining Sun;
But never, never, till this happy hour,
Was blest with such an evening shower!
