lyrics

III. Canto Funebre

Rude vento, che diffondi in suon di pianto
un dolore troppo triste per un canto;
fiero vento che, se il ciel di nubi è fosco,

fai suonar di notte a morto le campane;
Uragano, le cui lagrime son vane;
e tu, cupo dalle nude rame o bosco;

o spelonche funerarie, o mar profondo,
Voi piangete, voi piangete il mal del mondo.


Rough wind that moanest loud
Grief too sad for song;
Wild wind, when sullen cloud
Knells all [the]1 night long;
Sad storm whose tears are vain,
Bare woods, whose branches strain,
Deep caves and dreary main, --
Wail, for the world's wrong!
