In disperata speranza la vado cercando
\nin ogni angolo della mia casa,
\nma non la trovo.
\nLa mia casa \u00e8 piccola
\ne ci\u00f2 che una volta \u00e8 andato via
\nnon pu\u00f2 mai pi\u00f9 essere ripreso.
\nMa infinito \u00e8 il tuo palazzo, Signore,
\ne cercando lei sono giunto
\nalla tua porta.
\nSon sotto la canopia d’oro del tuo cielo
\nvespertino e levo ansioso gli occhi
\nverso il tuo viso.
\nSono venuto sull’orlo dell’eternit\u00e0
\nda cui nulla pu\u00f2 svanire;
\nnessuna speranza, n\u00e9 felicit\u00e0,
\nn\u00e9 la visione d’un volto
\nintravisto fra le lacrime.
\nOh, immergi la mia vuota vita
\nin quell’oceano,
\ntuffala nel suo abisso pi\u00f9 profondo.
\nLasciami per una volta sola sentire
\nquella dolce carezza perduta
\nnella totalit\u00e0 dell’universo.<\/p>\n

In desperate hope I go and search for her
\n<\/span><\/em>in all the corners of my room;
\n<\/span><\/em>I find her not.
\n<\/span><\/em>My house is small
\n<\/span><\/em>and what once has gone from it can never be regained.
\n<\/span><\/em>But infinite is thy mansion, my lord,
\n<\/span><\/em>and seeking her I have to come to thy door.
\n<\/span><\/em>I stand under the golden canopy of thine evening sky
\n<\/span><\/em>and I lift my eager eyes to thy face.
\n<\/span><\/em>I have come to the brink of eternity from which nothing can vanish
\n<\/span><\/em>—no hope, no happiness, no vision of a face seen through tears.
\n<\/span><\/em>Oh, dip my emptied life into that ocean,
\n<\/span><\/em>plunge it into the deepest fullness.
\n<\/span><\/em>Let me for once feel that lost sweet touch
\n<\/span><\/em>in the allness of the universe.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
