A poem by Giacomo Leopardi

Imitation

________________________________________________
Title:     Imitation
Author: Giacomo Leopardi [More Titles by Leopardi]

Wandering from the parent bough,
Little, trembling leaf,
Whither goest thou?
"From the beech, where I was born,
By the north wind was I torn.
Him I follow in his flight,
Over mountain, over vale,
From the forest to the plain,
Up the hill, and down again.
With him ever on the way:
More than that, I cannot say.
Where I go, must all things go,
Gentle, simple, high and low:
Leaves of laurel, leaves of rose;
Whither, heaven only knows!"





[The end]
Giacomo Leopardi's poem: Imitation
