LUNGI la luce che in s questo muroA
Rifrange appena un breve istante scortaB
Del rio palazzo alla soprana portaB
Lungi quei fiori d'Enna O lido oscuroA
Dal frutto tuo fatal che omai m' duroA
Lungi quel cielo dal tartareo mantoB
Che qu mi cuopre e lung ahi lungi ahi quantoB
Le notti che saran dai d che furoA
Lungi da me mi sento e ognor sognandoB
Cerco e ricerco e resto ascoltatriceC
E qualche cuore a qualche anima diceC
Di cui mi giunge il suon da quando in quandoB
Continuamente insieme sospirandoB
Oim per te Proserpina infeliceC

AFAR away the light that brings cold cheerA
Unto this wall one instant and no moreA
Admitted at my distant palace doorA
Afar the flowers of Enna from this drearA
Dire fruit which tasted once must thrall me hereA
Afar those skies from this Tartarean greyA
That chills me and afar how far awayA
The nights that shall be from the days that wereA
Afar from mine own self I seem and wingD
Strange ways in thought and listen for a signE
And still some heart unto some soul doth pineE
Whose sounds mine inner sense is fain to bringD
Continually together murmuringD
Woe's me for thee unhappy ProserpineE

Dante Gabriel Rossetti
