Gabriele D’Annunzio: Lungo l’affrico

Gabriele D’Annunzio

(1863-1938)

 

Lungo l’affrico

Grazia del ciel, come soavemente
ti miri ne la terra abbeverata,
anima fatta bella dal suo pianto!
O in mille e mille specchi sorridente
grazia, che da nuvola sei nata
come la voluttà nasce dal pianto,
musica nel mio canto
ota t’effondi, che non è fugace,
per me trasfigurata in alta pace
a chi l’ascolti.

Nascente Luna, in cielo esigua come
il sopracciglio de la giovinetta
e la midolla de la nova canna,
sì che il più lieve ramo ti nasconde
e l’occhio mio, se ti smarrisce, a pena
ti ritrova, pel sogno che l’appanna,
Luna, il rio che s’avvalla
senza parola erboso anche ti vide;
e per ogni fil d’erba ti sorride,
solo a te sola.

O nere e bianche rondini, tra notte
e alba, tra vespro e notte, o bianche e nere
ospiti lungo l’Affrico notturno!
Volan elle sì basso che la molle
erba sfioran coi petti, e dal piacere
il loro volo sembra fatto azzurro.
Sopra non ha sussurro
l’arbore grande, se ben trema sempre.
Non tesse il volo intorno a le mie tempie
fresche ghirlande?

E non promette ogni lor breve grido
un ben che forse il cuore ignora e forse
indovina se udendo ne trasale?
S’attardan quasi immemori del nido,
e sul margine dove son trascorse
par si prolunghi il fremito dell’ale.
Tutta la terra pare
argilla offerta all’opera d’amore,
un nunzio il grido, e il vespero che muore
un’alba certa.
