Poems by Giacomo Leopardi
The Lonely Life
... Along these heights, where nought save smiling hills, ...
The Ginestra,
... For thou didst ne'er, from Fate, or power of thine, ...
To Sylvia
... Thou, ere the grass was touched with winter's frost, ...
The Setting Of The Moon
... The hopes on which our suffering natures lean ...
Night Song Of A Wandering Shepherd In Asia
... Perhaps my thought still wanders from the truth, ...
The Younger Brutus
... That Rome's proud walls might fall before their swords ...
To The Spring
... That in the bloom of youth, the frost of age hath felt ...
Chorus of the Dead
... We lived... And as a phantom from a dream of terror ...
First Love
... And those things vain appeared, compared with which, ...
To Angelo Mai,
... When all things great and rare the name of folly bear ...
To Italy (1818)
... Sooner the stars, torn from their spheres, shall hiss, ...
Imitation
... "From the beech, where I was born, ...
Palinodia
... Aërial, that suddenly the day obscure, will with Gazettes be overrun ...
The Ruling Thought
... For through the sands, and through the viper-brood ...
Hymn To The Patriarchs
... Behold, the fields, scarce tilled, with blood are stained, ...
