TO ITALY - ZaunköniG - 05.07.2007 TO ITALY BRIGHT valor, smitten by so shrewd a blow, Drooping thy golden wing like wounded plover, What great, grieved faces o'er the battle hover, Patriot Mazzini; Fra Angelico, Forsaking his own seraphs for thy woe; Savonarola, still his country's lover Despite the flames; longing for walls to cover With such a fresco, Michael Angelo. Pity in those sweet eyes of Raphael For all Madonnas whose young sons lie slain; Chagrin in Dante's, that his far-famed hell Fades to a fantasy but weak and vain By scenes no wildest dream could parallel, Vast agony of thy Venetian plain. |
