Pilsner Urquell Singapore

ancient plants - Carducci

tree toward which the little girl
hand, the
pomegranate green
from 'beautiful scarlet flowers, garden

in silent solitary
revive everything just now and June

restores the light and heat. You

flower of my plant
beaten and withered, useless life
you de l'extreme
single flower,

art in the cold earth,
art in the land negra
neither the sun nor
more you glad you love awakens.


Poem written in 1871 in memory of her son Dante

Carducci (Valdicastello, July 27, 1835 - Bologna, February 16, 1907)
