Literature and Poetry
(Letteratura e poesia)
Al Mio Paesello di Carmine Testa delli Pizzi |
|
|
You dominate the Sangro and Aventino Rivers,
Mother Maiella from afar you watch and guide the plain
And the sea, between the fir and the pine.
You stay amongst the mountains to breathe the healthy
Fragrant fluid air and until
Mind and heart restore within the human
The flow of works along their mortal path.
